Barbara Roux creates installations of her photographs, sculpture and narratives based on themes of natural history and habitat change. Influenced to create ecology-based art by her father, a pharmacologist who did research in the Amazon Delta, she has also worked with scientists on plant related research.

Her projects have been published in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Art New England, Arts Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, Annals of Earth, Fifth Season Magazine, and elsewhere. She co-authored artist book Opaque Glass (with Coco Gordon, Water Mark Press, 1985) and has been a speaker to environmental groups such as the Audubon Society and the North Fork Environmental Council on Long Island, NY.
