Serena Barton: Driven to Serene Extremes

Serena Barton is a masterful painter who began painting later in life. Serena rediscovered her desire to make art after her first trip to Italy which has influenced much of her work since. She taught herself to paint and create mixed media work in her forties, earning her the right to insist that it is never too late to delve into what inspires us. Serena, a licensed counselor, shows and sells her work in galleries and online. Her business, 'The Art of Your Life' provides creativity/art workshops and individual, couple, and family counseling. Serena teaches classes on women and art in the Women's Studies Program at Portland State University. She lives in Portland, Oregon. http://www.SerenaBarton.com
