Featured Help with information on California artist Marbo Barnard

I find a lot of information and art sold of hers doing searches, but no bio or anything about her. read one saying she is from Rio Linda CA. one search showed an estate sale a few years ago in Rio Linda with a lot of her art. I don't know if it was her estate.
I couldn't find any comparable nor any sold prices without joining somewhere lol.
This painting I think is acrylic and is painted on thick board. 8" x 8" x 1/4"

No killing on site, so better for the crowd, but still animal cruelty and torture.

 

Went once in my life and never again.

 

She is related to my grandma by marriage. She was a war bride from Japan. She painted my grandma a couple beautiful pieces that I'm going to be inheriting. One is an amazing piece of a scene with different dolls. It is my absolute favorite of hers.

 

She also painted one of a clown
