Barbara Mueller was born in Summit, New Jersey, though, as an artist, she is most associated with Missouri. She served on the faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City for more than three decades, retiring as professor of art and art history in 1999. During those teaching years she furthered her own education through seminars, workshops, residencies and artist study tours around the world. At one point she received a Fulbright faculty grant to study in India. All the while she enjoyed invitations to show her work in juried exhibitions across the United States. Today, Barbara's paintings are included in the collections of the Beach Museum, Spencer Museum of Art, Oklahoma State University, William Woods College, Fulton, Missouri and the Women's Center, University of Missouri - Kansas City, among others.
