Linen size: 28"H x 22"W. Portia Barnes was a California and New Mexico based artist and art educator active in the early to mid 20th century. She was well known as a porcelain painter, which she taught at the Cloudcroft Art Colony in New Mexico for several years in the early 1950’s. Barnes was a student of well-known porcelain painter Franz B. Aulich. Her husband was George W.
