Stacy Barter
EmailStacy Barter’s Oil Paintings depict her intense fascination with light and atmosphere. She is constantly striving to capture depth and dimension in her oil paintings, along with accuracy and light. Working from life, whether it’s outside painting a landscape, or in studio, painting fresh flowers or working with a model is her true passion.
