Barton was a Fellow of the , and belonged to both the Arts Club of Chicago and the Chicago Society of Artists during her career. Barton was a committed feminist who once challenged art critic Clarence Joseph Bulliet's assertion, in print, that no woman had ever painted a nude of the highest caliber, and she has been claimed as the first American women artist to paint a nude self-portrait. She later became a lover of the married Bulliet, with whom she frequently appeared in public. Her 1938 oil-on-canvas Loaves is owned by the Illinois State Museum. Another oil, Woman Sewing dating between 1935 and 1942, was commissioned by the Works Progress Administration and is currently in the collection of the art gallery at Western Illinois University. A collection of her papers is in the Archives of American Art at the Smithsonian Institution. (en)
