Steve Barton

Steve Barton knew at age eight that he would be an artist for the rest of his life. Raised in New Hampshire by his mother, who was also a painter, he was encouraged early to develop his natural abilities. Steve’s passion developed along with his talent and inspired him to devote his life to his artwork – and this passion is evident in his paintings. His worldwide search for inspiration and beauty led him eventually to settle in coastal southern California and live the artist’s dream every day. His is a lifestyle that he always knew he would have, but for which he is still grateful. This may be one of the qualities which continuously draw people to both the artwork and the artist. 

Fantastic sunsets and serene seascapes are examples of what makes Steve Barton’s artwork desired by people worldwide. Though the subjects of his paintings vary, the casual elegance of each is consistent. They speak of days remembered and times to come, of tranquility and natural beauty that seems to stop time and soften your heart. Steve’s distinctive use of vivid colors, deep textures and powerful natural scenery make Barton’s paintings not just unique, but uniquely personal.
