About Barry Barnett

Barry Barnett was born in 1948 in Daytona Beach, Florida. His youth was spent fishing Florida’s saltwater coastal flats to the black water of the Saint Johns River. Now with Florida Black Bear and big cat hunting outside his studio window, it is the cry of the osprey that echo through, the wonder of it all.


When asked what he enjoys painting or sculpting Barry replies, “Life above and below the silent surface. I try to be a witness with brush or chisel to God’s gift of life.” Mr. Barnett’s proficient use of these medium has cause the varied results to be described as, “ Realistic-Impressionism.” No matter where Barry goes on land to study his subject, this artist’s signature is etched deep in his first love… the sea.
