Barbara Cole's artwork is collected by public and private institutions and has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Canadian embassies in Washington, D.C. and Tokyo, Japan. Cole, who is often referred to as an inventor, uses a raw, hands-on photographic process that is consistent with her belief that the possibilities of photography are virtually limitless. Since the early 1980s, she has channelled her appreciation for the camera itself. She is dedicated to the history of photography by deviating from automatic cameras and techniques. Barbara Cole uses photography to play with notions of time, place, and identity. In her numerous series, Cole often asks the questions: how do you paint an image of timelessness? How do you capture the feeling of weightlessness in an image? Her ethereal photography takes on a quintessential painterly quality, with the transformation of figures a predominant theme in her work. Over the past 30 years, although she works with traditional photographic means, Cole's approach and aesthetic has become closer to that of a painter. The artist's work focuses on a powerful narrative, some with external motifs and others with intense figure transformations that alone tell the story. Cole's background in fashion and fashion editorial naturally leads to a process that channels her experience into creating a particular atmosphere with costumes and backdrops.

Author Barbara Cole, Ph.D., was once gifted a sweater from an unknown Costa Rican lawyer who had been vacationing in the house next door; the lawyer overdid the shopping and couldn't fit the sweater in her luggage to take back home. That gift turned out to be much larger than the sweater because it led Cole to do some serious thinking about gifts she had received and given over the years. Her extended trek into gifting led her to explore the history of gifting, gift giving in other cultures, the practice of regifting, the strategy of gifting, and how to handle receiving gifts that are totally unexpected or even painful. Cole's book is itself a gift, a reflection on the virtues of giving and receiving, an admission of the stress often associated with gift giving, and a peak into the element of surprise associated with gifting. Cole shows us what we all know to be true: be they cheap and gaudy or expensive and luxurious, there's more to a gift than what meets the eye.
