Artist Dawna Barton has lived in Utah for almost 70 years. After graduating from college with a degree in graphic design, she worked as a graphic artist early in her career. However, she was gradually drawn into fine art where she began to pain both in watercolor and oils. Barton’s work includes a variety of landscapes and still lifes.
Barton has received numerous awards for her work. She attributes her success to long hours of daily painting.
“The joy of painting is what motivates me,” Barton said. “For me, the actual experience of working is more fulfilling than the rest.”
Awards and accolades for her work including being named the Artist of the Year by the Utah Pageant of the Arts, she received an honorary doctorate degree from Salt Lake Community College and the Granite School District offers an art scholarship in her name. She was also chosen as one of the Utah artists who was honored at the state capitol during the 2002 Winter Olympics.
