Barb Keady: A Creative Luminary:
Barbara Keady, lovingly known as Barb, was not just an artist; she was a beacon of inspiration and creativity. Born in 1959 in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Barb's artistic journey was deeply intertwined with the stunning landscapes of her home state. From an early age, her hands danced across canvases, creating vivid portrayals of the spectacular vistas of Northern New Mexico that had captured her heart.
A Teacher and an Artist:
Barb's artistic prowess found a natural companion in her love for teaching. A devoted educator, she spent her free time drawing, writing, and photographing New Mexico's beautiful landscapes. After raising two children of her own, Barb joyfully embraced the role of "Grandma Barb" to her grandchildren and the kids she taught over the years.
Curly Crow: A Dream Unveiled:
Despite battling brain cancer, Barb's spirit remained unbroken, and in 2017, she fulfilled a lifelong dream. She penned the first Curly Crow book, "Curly Crow Goes to the River." This charming tale was a testament to her resilience, creativity, and the enduring magic that lies within the heart of a dreamer. The Curly Crow series became a conduit for her love of storytelling, art, and the enchanting landscapes that had fueled her imagination since childhood.
A Magical Forest: Barb's Second Gift:
Barb's creative journey didn't end with Curly Crow's first adventure. Before her passing, she gifted the world another treasure – "A Happily Ever After Story: the magical forest." In these pages, she wove a tapestry of enchantment, inviting readers into a world where imagination knows no bounds.
