About the Artist :: Bill Barton
Bill is a 1974 graduate of Montclair State University, where he received his B.A. in Fine Arts.
He started his artistic career in photography, working as a free-lance still photographer and then a video photographer for various news stations in New England. He picked up a paintbrush again in 1985 when he became inspired by the architecture of Portland’s Old Port. He now draws inspiration from the Maine seacoast and harbors and the Vermont countryside.
He has been in numerous solo and group exhibitions and juried shows. He was most recently awarded a highly-coveted spot in the Center for Maine Contemporary Art’s biennial juried show, where he was one of only 41 artists accepted out of more than 650 submissions.
Bill lives in Cape Elizabeth, Maine with his wife and two children.
