Barbara Ringer is a photo-based artist who uses dolls, toys, and herself to create images where trauma either has or is about to happen.
Born 1959 and raised in the South Bronx housing projects, she pursued cinema studies at New York University, and remains strongly influenced by Hitchcock and Bergman. After working for video production studios in New York, Germany, and Switzerland, she focused on photography and living in Connecticut. For the last decade she has used her camera to explore the darker moments of childhood and the adult anxieties that follow.
A member of the Silvermine Artists Guild, Ridgefield Guild of Artists, and the Artists Collective of Westport, her artwork has been in numerous exhibitions in New York and Connecticut.
She was featured in a Silvermine curated show focusing on trauma and healing through art.
