Petra Barrett

Bio:

I have been fascinated by art for several years, exploring various mediums including photography and pottery while living in Oakville. My formal training includes studies at George Brown College for Photography and the Avenue Road School of Art, where I initially focused on oil painting.

Following my relocation to Meaford in 2015, I continued my artistic journey through workshops at The Bay School of Art in Blue Mountains and Collingwood, expanding my skills to acrylic and watercolour painting. As a proud member of the Meaford Creative Arts Association, I draw inspiration from fellow artists and their wealth of experience.

My artistic growth has been largely driven by hands-on learning through painting classes and workshops.

Travels to Atlantic Canada, New England, Costa Rica, and Europe have broadened my perspective, but my true passion lies in capturing the natural beauty of landscapes.

Southern Georgian Bay’s serene atmosphere and distinct seasons provide endless inspiration for my art. I remain committed to my craft as a member of the Art Gallery of Ontario and an active participant on the Meaford Creative Arts Association.
