Southwest artist, Barbara Ann Spencer Jump has been painting for most of her life. Professionally for years. Barbara Ann's works of art are found in several venues throughout Arizona including galleries, gift shops and outdoor festivals. Tourists and natives alike enjoy her view of the desert and life in the southwest. Her art work is in private and corporate collections across the nation, and in several other nations, including England, Japan, Germany, Russia, Italy and Australia.
She travels through out Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and sometimes Texas, to show her work in some of the best "juried" art festivals in the southwest. She has participated in art shows with the Phippen Museum, the Huachuca Art League, Mesa Center for the Arts, Laguna Gloria Museum, (Austin, Texas), and the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. In addition she has participated in art festivals held by Scottsdale Celebration of Fine Art, George Phippen Museum Memorial Show (Prescott, AZ), Tubac Festival (Tubac, AZ), Southwest Art Festival (Indio, CA), Pecan Street Festival (Austin, Texas), Grand Canyon National Park, Santa Fe Festivals, (Santa Fe, NM), Fountain Hills festivals (Fountain Hills, AZ), Tempe Arizona Festivals, Thunderbird Artists Festivals (Arizona), Summerlin Arts Festival (NV), Cottonwood Art Festival (Richardson, TX), and Hidden in the Hills (Carefree/Cave Creek, Arizona), sponsored by the Sonoran Arts League.
Her work is not ‘traditional' southwest. It's a very contemporary southwest with clear and bright colors, and subject matter to make you smile. Barbara paints the mats as an enhancement to the paintings, but cautions that not every painting is suitable to be extended to the mat.
She accepts commissions and sells wholesale to the trade.
