Barbara J. Hauck’s work is a convergence of painting and weaving.  Using a white warp, she creates images with dyes and acrylic paint on the unwoven threads.  These painted images become the base, the “cartoon”, that she weaves, wraps, and manipulates adding color and texture.
Hauck received Bachelor of Science in Art from Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY, and a Master of Arts in Speech and Communication Studies from Edinboro University of PA. 
Although she has been known mostly in the Erie region as a fundraiser, she has participated in many gallery shows over the years with both paintings and fiber arts works.  Her fundraising positions have been specifically for arts and culture (Warner Theatre Preservation Trust, Erie Philharmonic, and the Arts Endowment of the Arts Council of Erie).  She is active in the Chautauqua County Weavers’ Guild, the Lake Erie Fiber Arts Guild, the Erie Branch of the American Association of University Women, and the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 435.  An Oblate with the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, she fulfills her ministry as a weaving and fiber arts teacher at the Inner-City Neighborhood Art House where she has taught for over 20 years.
