Gwen Barnard (1912–1988) was a British artist notable for her ability as a painter and printmaker.
Barnard's early paintings were naturalistic and with time her approach became more abstract, throughout her career rock shapes and river scenes, particularly of the River Thames, were constant themes.
[2] She contributed works to group exhibitions and had further solo shows hosted by the Artists' International Association, at the Camden Arts Centre in 1976, the Upper Street Gallery in London and at overseas venues.
[2][3] The book was published by the Gaberbocchus Press of which Barnard was a director and for whom she illustrated several volumes.
[5] For many years Barnard lived in Hampstead in north London and wrote a history of the local Mall Studios, where she worked, for the Camden History Review in 1980.
