Artist Barbara Maria Scheer hosts first Vernissage in Feldbach

Barbara Maria Scheer from Fehring, Austria, hosted her first art exhibition at the Kleine Zeitung office in Feldbach.

Scheer previously kept her collection of more than 120 paintings in a private room where no one could see them. A friend, Margret Kern, encouraged the artist to apply for a community art meeting, which led to the public debut of her work. Scheer used painting as a way to overcome a period of depression, creating works characterized by bright colors.

During the opening, she thanked her husband Werner Scheer, her neighbor Heide Ochsenhofer, and her son René Scheer for their support. The event also served as a celebration of her 50 year marriage to Werner Scheer. Nearly 30 guests attended the gathering to view the art. The paintings will remain on display at the Kleine Zeitung office for visitors to see or purchase until early April 2027.
