Andrew Barr isbiological scientist and a landscape painter who records the fast-disappearingimages found in nature in the remote regions of Australia. He combines graphic and impressionistic approaches to his paintings of the outback that he has visited since arriving in Australia.
Born in Canada, Andrew came to Australia in 1974 to begin his teaching career at various tertiary institutions around this starkly beautiful country. He has developed a versatility of styles which keeps his paintings fresh and lively. His textured foliage’s, bright colours and sharp shadows capture the harsh vibrant colours of the Australian landscape. His paintings have been purchased by corporate and private collectors since 1973.
