Win Barney was born and raised in the Chicago area. She studied at The Art Institute of Chicago, painting in watercolor and drawing in pencil and ink.
She moved west to Arizona in 1970 and took up pottery, selling her hand-thrown pieces in Scottsdale shops. She and her husband started a new business in Flagstaff in 1984 and she took up her brush again, this time in oil. She belonged to the National League of American Pen Women and organization for women in the arts and exhibited in area fairs, juried shows and galleries, noted for landscapes, florals and birds.
Retirement landed Win and her husband in Kanab, Utah in 1997. She now paints in oil or draws in pencil, focusing on the Western landscape, historical locations and the beauty of the surrounding national parks and monuments.
