Oil painter Jill Barton’s elegant, lyrical landscapes and bold still lifes exude an Asian aesthetic. Textural layers of oil and metals lend a classic yet contemporary feel. Although she received art training from two world class artists, including her mother Dawna Barton, her greatest influence remains the ancient masters of Asian Art and the fascinating concept of imperfect beauty known as wabi-sabi. Barton was instrumental is building a successful art publishing company which is now part of the prestigious New York Graphic Society Publishing Group.
