Saba Barnard is a North Carolina native who has been painting with steadily increasing passion and vigor over the last 5 years. An avid observer of the human condition, her skeleton figures are portraits of people in various emotional states. As skeletons, the figures are representations of humans, without regard to race, age, gender, or physical beauty. A number of the paintings use the skeleton figures to illustrate the transcendental nature of experiencing music. Her medium of choice is acrylic paint.
In addition to skeleton figures, Saba Barnard also paints more traditional portraits in oil paints. She is available for commission work.
Saba Barnard lives in Durham, and is currently in school at North Carolina Central University studying Art Education.
