Pat Barton.
A visual artist, designer, and
fine art printmaker.

The smell of ink. The love of paper. The allure of making “multiples” using intaglio, lithography, and linocut. And pondering the eternal puzzle of who we are as human beings: what we feel, what we do, and what’s important to us, as individuals or groups. This has been what inspires my creative work.

Using photographic sources and drawn images, my work takes stock of people, places, and things that stimulate a new awareness of the beauty and patterns of life—or simply amusement about how funny people can be.

Currently, I am exploring making art using photopolymer plates, a nontoxic method of making photogravures and reliefs, as well as exploring inkjet transfers. You can usually find me making prints in my studio.
