JO BARRY
Jo Barry has been painting, drawing and etching for many years and enjoys a considerable reputation in the art world. She has exhibited at Royal Academy Summer Shows and has been the Honorary Secretary of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers.
A regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy, Jo Barry also shows work in many galleries up and down the country. Her lithographs are also well known internationally following exhibitions in many countries including the USA, Norway, Australia and Japan.
Jo Barry studied at Ravensbourne College of Art and Design and taught at the Byam Shaw School of Art until 1978 when she gave up teaching to concentrate full time on her own work.
Her skill in etching has developed and grown so that she now ranks as one of the finest living etchers in this country.
"I suppose my work is self-indulgent", says Jo, "I depict nature and the English countryside, both are things I dearly love. I hope that people who buy my work will share my pleasure and enjoyment".
