Nixie Barton
Nixie Barton has been exploring still-life on canvas and paper since graduation from the University of Victoria with a BFA in 1986. She resides with her husband Grant Leier and son Grayson in Yellowpoint on Vancouver Island. Her work is partially interpretive and partially based on the imagery from the extensive garden surrounding their Vancouver Island studio. Barton’s images fall in and out of the picture plane, which she describes as “a wonky sense of composition” with colors and strong patterns.
Her work has changed scale following her successful exhibition with the West End Gallery in Edmonton in April of 2001. The harvest elements in these new paintings are bold and dramatic, created in Barton-style flamboyant and rich with color.
