  Biography of Barbara Newton
 

Barbara A. Newton

I was born in Australia and began my art career graduating with distinction from a Fine Art course at the Bald Hills Technical College. I have attended many art seminars and painting tutorials since then in order to diversify my skills.

My Paintings have been exhibited in various art galleries such as White Patch on Bribie Island and the Artists' Own Gallery in Brisbane.

I have been a member of the Queensland Art Collective Inc. for 15 years where I exhibit and sell my art throughout Brisbane.  Some of my paintings may also be viewed at the Bronzewing Art Gallery in Montville and the Cronulla Art Gallery in Mt Tamborine, Queensland.

I have travelled the world extensively and this is reflected in my artwork where I cover a wide range of subject matter in various painting techniques and mediums.

My other passion is teaching children how to draw and paint and I have several classes per week conducted in my studio at home.
