“I’ve learned how to find myself and my family’s joy through recreating our travels in my artwork.” - Steve Barton
When connoisseurs of fine art visit Lake Tahoe, the Marcus Ashley Gallery is always at the top of their bucket list (and for good reason). It’s home to some of the best works produced by local artists from the Sierras and even international and national artists. Steve Barton art also occupies the sprawling interiors of the gallery.
Barton’s fresh ideas only grew better with time after moving from New Hampshire to California. When he’s not painting, Barton travels the world to teach students about impressionist art and the inspiration and motivation behind his craft.
Tropic Glow
is an echo of Barton’s love for the shorelines of the West Coast. A perfect oasis of tranquility is encapsulated in this riveting piece of art. The concept of seclusion is tempting and tangible with every deliberate brushstroke and burst of color.
Barton’s work has the profound power to move you emotionally and soulfully when your eyes wander to his piece.
Tropic Glow
is a passionate portrayal of an urge to visit a forgotten land, and never wanting to look back. This picturesque canvas is available at the Marcus Ashley Gallery in Barton’s signature “Wavy” frame.
