Upon graduating, he went on to become co-owner of The Barth Galleries, where he exhibited his work alongside some of the regions top artists until leaving the business in 2005. His paintings incorporate a unique method of blending soft and oil pastels together, in addition to using various methods of scratching or scraping the surface to remove layers. His work has been represented in Columbus by the Keny Galleries since 2003. He has exhibited throughout the region and in New York at the Allan Stone Gallery. His work is included in numerous public and private collections. Barth lives and maintains his studio in Clintonville.

For nearly 30 years I’ve worked in oil pastel, soft pastel and chalk on paper. Walking the line between abstraction and landscape painting, the work explores the relationship between man and the environment and where we place ourselves in it. I’ve exhibited in Memphis, Indianapolis, and in New York City. I’m represented by Keny Galleries; Columbus, Edington Gallery; Indianapolis, and in Cleveland by the Bonfoey Galler.
