Kay Barnes

Kay Barnes has been on a quest of artistic expression most of her life. Her first creative statements were in clay sculpture and textiles, later speaking through oils and acrylics. In 1982, she discovered her true voice and passion in watercolor.

Over the years of perfecting her craft, Kay has lived in several different regions of the country, affording her the opportunity to study and paint with many noteworthy artists, among them: Jane Burnham, Joseph Boler, Skip Lawrence, Christopher Schink, Maxine Masterfield, and Tom Nicholas. Her art, while influenced by various artists and regional flavors, remains unique.

Kay is a signature member of both the California Watercolor Association and Northwest Watercolor Society. She is also a past president of the Eastside Association of Fine Arts in Bellevue, Washington. Having exhibited widely her works hang in many corporate and private collections.

In the last few years, many of Kay's paintings have been commissioned pieces. SHe loves the challenge of employing a patron's described colors to creeate an artistsic foval point in harmoney with its surroundings. Whether it's a series to grace the walls of villas in Antiqua or a pair of oversized paintings for the entrance of a new Nordstrom store, Kay's paintings combine creative expressions with great empathy.
