Lenore Barnett

Originally from New York, Lenore is currently a North Carolina resident. She is an award-winning representational artist who enjoys painting landscapes of color, mood, and light. Although she favors oils, she also uses a variety of other media, including acrylics, colored pencil, graphite, ink, watercolor and oil pastel.

She has traveled extensively, both at home and abroad, drawing inspiration from both personal experience and her own photographs. Her first hand knowledge enhances her ability to paint the color, light, and delicate contrasts of man-made elements as well as natural landscapes. Although she enjoys working in her studio, whenever possible she paints en plein air.

Consistently juried into shows and invitational group exhibitions nationwide, Lenore has been honored with many awards, including three at the historic Salmagundi Club in New York, and also from the "Artist's Magazine." She has had several solo shows in Washington State, North Carolina and South Carolina and her works are widely held in collections throughout the U.S.

Lenore is a signature member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society. Her most recent solo exhibitions were at the Red Clover Gallery, Landrum, SC and the Haywood County Arts Center, Waynesville, NC. In 2008 she will be featured in a two person show at the Wickwire Gallery, Hendersonville, NC.
