Anne Meredith Barry

Anne Meredith Barry RCA (August 31, 1932 – January 23, 2003) was a Canadian visual artist known for her landscapes of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Born in Toronto, Barry graduated from the Ontario College of Art (now known as OCAD University) in 1954 and began painting full-time.

[1] Barry first visited Newfoundland in 1971, when she spent the summer teaching children at Hibb's Cove, Conception Bay, through a residency with the Outport Arts Foundation.

Captivated by the rugged landscape of Newfoundland, she painted, made prints, and taught workshops through St. Michael's Printshop and Memorial University's Extension Service.

[4] In 2007 her work was the focus of a major retrospective at The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery, titled Anne Meredith Barry: Natural Energies.
