Barry returned to the Perth area to be near his family, where he taught leisure classes with Perth College.
Barry's personal work can be a little dark and cathartic. A respite from experience as a caregiver in both professional and personal life.
Lately however, Barry has been using art to focus on just being, working from life, to spend time in nature and to observe the passing of time.
Barry also works to commission; illustrations, portraits of dogs, cats and people but occasionally painting from the landscape, these are often worked on in a detailed way with pastels or oil paints. Barry enjoys working liberally and viscerally, tightening up his work considerably as he works in subsequent layers.
Barry works as a picture framer from his studio. When he isn't working on his paintings or picture framing, Barry is a pupil support assistant at a local school.
