Dejon Barber
She/Her | @ArtByDejon | ArtByDejon@gmail.com
Dejon Barber is a California born artist who loves to travel. She is inspired to paint with simple lines and bright colors. Most recently her painting theme has focused on happy little skeletons.
Dejon’s art is motivated by: her imagination, the people she meets, places she visits, and her undeniable urge to create. She grew up in a small town in Northern California and always dreamed of traveling, especially to Paris. She took advantage of an opportunity and studied abroad focusing on Art History while living in Italy. She also focused on art theory and practice so she could build her foundations as a studio artist.
Fundamentally, It was a printmaking class in college that completely changed her painting style. She went from abstract expressionist work, to methodically planned pieces and themes. She now paints in reverse on transparent surfaces like glass or plastic. Each piece is unique and time consuming; the layers must dry completely before the next can be painted on top of it. Building from her experiments she now often incorporates mixed media into her work like Fabric,paper, or glitter.
