Rosanne Barr

Rosanne Barr was born in Gartocharn at the south end of Loch Lomond. She experienced the natural beauty of the countryside from an early age, finding inspiration on holiday.

In 2003 she graduated with First Class Honours from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and in March 2007 on a world excursion she experienced the evocative sights of Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.

Her most recent work has been selected for the Annual Exhibitions of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (including the current 2009 event) and of the Paisley Arts Institute. In March 2008 her first major solo show Lands of Home and Venture at the Green Gallery, Aberfoyle was a sell-out success.

“…bold brushed landscapes deftly mixing realism, impressionism and a dash of the Colourists. Always inspired by Scotland’s landscape” [The Herald]

The past year has been marked by a series of  joint exhibitions in Aberdeen, Oxford and Glasgow and two solo shows in Edinburgh and Dunkeld. A finalist in the 2009 Lloyds TSB Jolomo Foundation, she has received invitations to appear with leading galleries at Art Fairs in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

In recent months she has been fortunate to visit the Orkney Isles where her family holiday. Rosanne continues to paint in acrylic and oil media at her studio in the Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire.
