Barron Postmus, a native Californian spent several years in Hawaii before returning to school at the Los Angeles Art Center. A tour in the army took Postmus to Europe where he served as an illustrator. After the service, he was hired as a technical illustrator by a large aerospace firm. The next few years saw him promoted rapidly to graphics designer, and in 1969, Postmus opened his own graphic design and illustration agency. Even then, he was working for the day when oil painting would be his total profession, and in 1985 this became a reality. The results of his efforts can be seen today in fine art galleries throughout the country as well as private and personal collections including; Infonet of El Segundo, the Sears Tower in Chicago, and in the VIP lounge of the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Mr. Postmus is a member of the California Art Club and the Oil Painters of America.

An old rusting wagon, a barn long abandoned, late afternoon shadows falling across a windswept prairie beckon us to step back into the romance of yesterday. Traveling the west, Barron Postmus combines the hard eye of sharp realism with the soft touch of sentiment to bring his faithfully rendered landscapes to life.
