Artist's Statement/Quote
"Collectors tell me they often put themselves in my art. It's a
way we all can relive some of the happiest moments of our youth."
Dave Barnhouse recreates the best of times in his definition of rural
and small town America. His portraits are glimpses of life the way he
remembers it from his childhood. Barnhouse is a self-described "country
boy" from Richmond, Ohio who grew up in small towns and connects
physically and emotionally with those environments.
Barnhouse's
work captures the Americana genre, as he works with illumination and
adds a nostalgic touch to give viewers the feeling they are actually
present and part of the painting."
Awards/Special Exhibits
Barnhouse's art has earned many awards and honors. He has been voted
one of America's most popular print artists by U.S. ART magazine and
was included twice in InformArt's "Top Ten Hottest Artists" list.
