Barnett continued to direct his artistic development through his high school and college years. Barnes went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree from Sacramento State University and his Master of Arts degree from Mexico's University of Guanajuato. After graduation, Barnes first worked as a commercial artist but was soon drawn to teaching, joining the Fort Bragg Unified School system where he taught for over thirty years. He also taught art with the College of the Redwoods, at their Mendocino Coast campus. Over the course of his long career as a fine artist, David Barnes has exhibited widely and with success. A master of several mediums, he has been the recipient of numerous prizes and juried awards for his painting, sculpture and graphic arts.
