Signcrafter Barbara Ryder owner/operator of
Ryders' A GOOD SIGN; Author of 2 books of poetry&prose,
Painter of scenery & abstract acrylics

Polished her craft when lettering was an art.... 2-time winner of showcard (window display) competitions, she established a reputation and teaching appointment with the 'Signgraphics' team at George Brown College in Toronto.
Although Barbaras' love of signcraft has remained constant through the years evolving from charcoal sketches and brush lettering, to computer layouts and vinyl, she remains true to her art.

During her teaching years, she commuted back and forth from Millbrook Ont, where she operated Ryders' Signs from her studio on Main St. When budget cutbacks ended the George Brown position, she took a 3 year position as manager of Carver Creek design in Bobcaygeon where she enjoyed painting once more, illustrations and lettering on high-end carved and sandblasted signs.

Barbara purchased a beautiful century home she found close to city hall in Peterborough Ont; where her singer-songwriter daughter Serena often performs. Locals will remember Serenas' older sister Tiffany from her years with the Lansdowne Nutrition House, and Barbaras' husband 'handyman extrordinaire'. "The girls would've loved living here" says Barbara, rather than the commute from Millbrook. Still, when they visit, the family, including
Barbaras' oldest Daniel, enjoy the scenic walk over the bridge to Nichols oval where it's so serene and incredibly beautiful.

Barbaras' clientele, though small and personable, bring the challenge that keeps her enthusiastic about signs. She now leaves the electric, neon, formed letters
and installation on scaffold to her competition; concentrating more on fast custom lettering & graphics for magnetic signs, vehicles, vinyl and paper banners, coroplast & PVC which is available in a multitude of colours and sizes. She loves the informality of working from her home where customers and friends alike are welcome to come and share input in their requirements...and enthusiasm about 'SIGNS'

"Life doesn't get much better than this" says Barbara.
