Shona Barr was born in 1965 in Glasgow. After graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 1988, where she won the Landscape Prize and the Armour Prize for Still Life, she continued her training 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 the vitality of the British landscape. Colour is a key element in her work and her expressive canvasses explore panoramic sea views, rolling fields and hills and dynamic floral compositions.

Shona Barr has been successfully exhibiting with Flying Colours Gallery since 1989. Her work has been critically acclaimed over the years and can be found in many public, corporate and private collections in Hong Kong, Australia, South Africa, Canada and throughout the USA and UK.
