Eliza Barchus, termed by the Oregon Legislature as “The Oregon Artist”, is believed to have painted as many as 7,500 paintings in her 50 year painting career.  Largely self-taught, Barchus is believed to have only taken painting lessons for a short while in her early twenties.  The ambitious painter then promoted her mountain landscape paintings to tourists by placing them in prominent business locations.  The majority of paintings sold by Barchus were purchased by tourists to the Northwest who wanted a souvenir to take home with them.  Demand quickly grew for Barchus’s landscapes, leading her to produce as many as 10 or more standard-size paintings at a time in assembly-line fashion.  Today her works garner wide interests and are eagerly pursued by collectors coast to coast.
