Tina Barr
Tina’s style has been described as abstract impressionism. Although her works are representational and recognisable, there is enough abstract of both form and colour to add to the mystery needed to invite further investigation by the imagination.
As an award-winning artist, Tina has sold throughout Australia, the US and UK and has participated in many group and college shows and has had solo exhibitions at the Lombard gallery and the Scarlattis Gallery at Mount Sermon Wines, Clare.
When she can, Tina loves to get out into the great outdoors to paint plein air and capture first-hand the mood and atmosphere of the coastal regions of South Australia. This outdoor experience comes through in her work. She is a member of the Adelaide Art Society.
‘My paintings bring back memories of places we have been – places we have lived, holidays spent or places that have a special meaning to us as a constant reminder of some of the best places and times we have experienced.’
Among Tina’s achievements, she was one of the few winners in the 2020 ICC worldwide Cricket Call to Art and recently won best Acrylic/Oil in the 2023 Walkerville Art Show which was presented by South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas.
