About

Anthony J Barber was born in Staffordshire in 1962. He studied Architecture and Design to Post Graduate level in West Yorkshire. During this time he sketched and painted both in Yorkshire and on Scotland's West Coast and Islands. In 1994 he moved to the Isle of Lewis where he paints full time, working in his studio gallery, just above the harbour and beach, in Port of Ness.

His original works can be seen at the Harbour View Gallery, Port of Ness and in a number of UK galleries. He has had work selected for the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW) and Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) exhibitions at the National Gallery for Scotland, Edinburgh and the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) and Discerning Eye exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, London.
