Ursula Barton
Portland, Oregon
Proudly representing her Oregon Roots in Portland, Ursula graduated in 2010 with a BFA from Pacific Northwest College of Art. She then created a series of large paintings inspired by her rainy bike rides across the many bridges of Portland. This series grew into a product line celebrating the city, our rain, and our beautiful bridges.
Now after founding Jailhouse Studios in 2016, a female run art collective and gallery, focused on showing emerging female artists and their allies, she has expanded with talented local designers, manufacturers, and small businesses. This ongoing collaboration has helped her grow the UB product line, illustrating urban landscapes and creating accessible and sustainable products.
