Portia Barnes was a California and New Mexico based artist and art educator active in the early to mid 20th century. She was well known as a porcelain painter, which she taught at the Cloudcroft Art Colony in New Mexico for several years in the early 1950’s. Barnes was a student of well-known porcelain painter Franz B. Aulich. Her husband was George W.

In 1949, Barnes was honored in having his full length portrait hung in the College Animal Industries building of Texas A&M, and dedicated in the presence of a large group of persons representing the College and the cattle industry.
