Jeffrey Barson
Jeffrey Barson was born in Logan, Utah in 1966. A move to England when he was nine allowed the budding artist to explore a variety of art while traveling through Europe. Torn between medicine and art as a career choice, an art scholarship to Utah State University sealed his fate. Barson employs a painterly style reminiscent of the Great Masters. His studies of classic figures in literature lend a credibility and realism to his art. A Barson painting is suffused with intriguing symbolism and metaphors. His portraits of women are passionate, sensual, and hauntingly beautiful. Working in oil on canvas, Barson strives for creative excellence.
