A word from Anne-Marie on Fine Art

I’m drawn to the places where you can feel a painting being made. A color showing through another color, a passage worked over, an edge left beautifully unresolved. There’s an intimacy in those details. Your eye follows the artist’s hand, and you get to spend a little time inside the way they see.

–Anne-Marie Barton

The making

A surface that holds your gaze

Color, plaster, and molten brass offer different ways into a landscape. A ridge appears in relief. A field of pigment opens into distance. Light finds something new as it moves across the surface.

These original works bring a little of that encounter into the everyday: something to live beside, return to, and see differently over time.
