Hi Everybody! My name is Barbara Stanton.

I'm an artist specializing in Portraits and Miniatures.

My miniature landscapes, still lifes and portraits are done in a very traditional, realistic style, many of them are on fine silk canvases. I have always enjoyed the details in my paintings and with miniatures the entire painting is detail. My biggest fans are the dollhouse miniature collectors but you don't have to have a dollhouse to enjoy my little paintings. Each original comes with it's own easel so you can display them anywhere!

My work can be found all over the world including Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, France, Netherlands, Israel, Canada & the USA. I do work on commission if you have a special painting in mind and haven't been able to find it. Let me help you create that image for you, big or small.

I've been painting for more than thirty five years now and have mastered my technique but I continue to seek new challenges. Teaching is my latest endeavor and I have two weekly workshops for kids and adults in my home town of Livermore, CA. I also do miniature painting workshops all over and have taught at the IGMA guild school twice now. I now have two instruction videos on DVD . "Miniature Oil Painting Lesson, Mossbrea Creek" and "the Spotted Huntress" a portrait of a Cheetah. You can also find my color mixing theory on YouTube.

I have been working on life drawings for a couple of years now. These nudes are done mostly in pastels, but I have a few watercolors and pen & ink drawings as well. Lately I've been drawing on my iPad. I really enjoy drawing the human figure from life. I only have ten to twenty minutes to draw the model so the drawings are done fast and furious. Occasionally we get an extra long pose and then I get a chance to really get flesh tones and a more complete drawing. I hope you will add me to your favorite artist list and love my work as much as I enjoy doing it.

I show and sell my work in various local and national Art and Miniature shows, and Art Galleries. I have been an IGMA Artisan (International Guild of Miniature Artisans) since 1997 and as of April 2001 became a Guild Fellow! I am now a signature member of Miniature Painters, Sculptures & Gravers Society (MPSGS) & Miniature Artists of America (MAA).
