Barbara Noonan - Biography

Barbara Noonan Fine Artist

Mornin Noonan Night Studios

 

“There is so much to learn by walking in nature at all hours of the day and discerning the subtle color variations in light and shadow.”   

 

Barbara Noonan is an award-winning pastel artist who delights in interpreting nature’s light in her paintings.   Using confident mark making in saturated pure pigment sticks, each stroke glides over the finely textured paper and brings life to her subject matter.   Daily beach walks, painting en plein aire and years of photography inform her work - both representational or abstract.

 

When not on Camano Island, Barbara lives on Saint George Island, Florida, where she trades driftwood beaches and fir trees for sand and pines.   She is a Signature Member of the Northwest Pastel Society and previously Pastel Society of the West Coast, the Camano Art Association, as well as a member of Women Painters of Washington.  

 

This artist’s award-winning paintings are found in books, magazines and galleries in Washington and Florida. Her work has been collected internationally and is included in Seattle’s Virginia Mason Hospital as well as in the Kent City Art Collection.  Barbara offers professional painting demos for regional art societies and juries art exhibitions.
