About the Author

Larry Barth began competing at the prestigious Ward World Competition in the early eighties and was recognized as a winner from the start. He has consistently taken blue ribbon after blue ribbon for forty years. Never content to do the same thing twice, Barth has pushed himself and the craft, creating superbly realistic art. His pieces are found in private collections and museums throughout North America, including the Ward, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson, and Massachusetts Audubon. He lives in Stahlstown, Pennsylvania.
