About Steve Barton

The “Wavy” concept was created by Steve Barton in 1999, and is a testament to his creativity. The Wavy Frame was designed to bring the frame into the work of art, creating a single unit. Together, the painting and frame invite you to walk around the room, viewing the work from different angles as the natural shadow lines of the canvas subtly change the scene’s tone.

“I’ve been lucky to see and experience the most amazing landscapes on earth, and meet the most amazing people who have become part of my life. I create for the community, not only a rich and vibrant painting, but a feeling -and intensely intimate feeling that recreates the soul of a place for each person in their own way.” is Barton’s comment on his inspirations. He also finds himself constantly inspired by the magic of the Sierra Nevadas and South Lake Tahoe, where he resides part time. “There’s no place like Tahoe. It’s one of my ‘home bases.’”

Originally from New Hampshire, Steve Barton’s success as an artist began early. His mother, an oil painter herself, inspired and encouraged him to paint. After studying at Rhode Island School of Design, Barton desired to broaden his search for subject matter. He traveled to the West Coast,where his paintings took on the dreamlike quality that we experience today. Presently, Barton donates his time by doing painting demonstrations for students worldwide, and has spent time in Russia speaking to students of all ages about painting and setting goals in life.

For Steve Barton, painting is a way of life. He loves to spend spare moments combing areas for inspiration. Old quaint houses, cottages, cabins and villas that capture the heart of life on the beach are among his favorite settings to capture on canvas.
