Shona Barr
Shona Barr was born in 1965 in Glasgow. In 1988 she graduated from the Glasgow School of Art where she won the Landscape Prize and the Armour Prize for Still Life. She continued to train at the Kunstakedimi in Oslo, Winchester School of Art, in Barcelona and at the University of Southampton.
Drawing her inspiration from nature, Barr’s paintings reflect her continued interest in capturing and expressing the vitality of the Scottish landscape and climate. This is articulated through panoramic sea views, fields rolling into the distance, and dynamic floral canvasses. Colour is a key element in her work.
Shona Barr is an active member of the Glasgow Art Club. Her paintings have been exhibited in numerous shows through out the UK and her work is held in many corporate collections including United Distillers, John Menzies plc, Robert Fleming Holdings and Proctor & Gamble. Flying Colours Gallery has been exhibiting her work since 1989, mounting ten solo exhibitions; the next will be in 2011.
"I love the marvellous colours of the garden. Oil paint allows me to enhance and revel in them. I want the viewer to feel my response to the landscape. It's about expressing in paint what is inexpressible in words." - Shona Barr
Works range in price from £750 - £8,000
