Nationally acclaimed American artist John M. Barber has painted the Chesapeake Bay and the eastern seaboard for nearly three decades. A meticulous chronicler of its watermen, vessels, and lifestyles, Barber is one of the few maritime artists who doesn’t just paint scenes, but the stories behind them — always invoking the magic of light to provide texture to his subjects and the Chesapeake’s vanishing way of life.  Also renowned for his cityscapes and architectural art, Barber splits his time between his own original works and paintings commissioned by customers.
