Neville Barbour is an artist who leans on his memories of growing up in DC to create charcoal and mixed media portraiture that resonates with him emotionally:

“The process of drawing feels very much like a ritual. I’m more compelled to make that commitment when it feels personal. It’s just a question of what I’m willing to share.”

Neville has participated in over 30 domestic and international juried exhibitions. He has exhibited at various galleries and museums.

He has work in the permanent collection of the David Driskell Center for the Study of Visual Arts & Culture of African Americans and the African diaspora.
