BARBARA MAC ARTHUR
Barbara’s appreciation of art and her love of drawing began in early childhood. After studying art at the University of
Mississippi and at the John McCrady Art School in New
Orleans, she worked with oils,then acrylics and water color.
After lengthy travel in Europe, Barbara became a flight
attendant which led to two exhibits in New York City while
she was based there.
Barbara moved to the Sacramento area after her marriage,
and entered her work in juried art shows. Much of her
subject matter comes from the places she traveled, as well as
the people and landscapes around her.
Living in the beautiful Lake Almanor area has opened
a whole new world to paint. Besides exhibiting her paintings
at the Back Room Gallery of B&B Booksellers in Chester, and
in the Lake Almanor basin, Barbara works in her home studio
and on commission, as well, painting portraits of people, pets,
homes and landscapes.
