Born in Toronto in 1932, Anne Meredith Barry graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1954. After visiting Newfoundland for the first time in 1971, Anne fell in love with the landscape and focused her life’s work on the power of her surrounding environment.

Anne Meredith Barry’s artistic career spanned four decades. Her work has been featured at many venues throughout Canada and internationally. Solo public exhibitions include shows at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery, Newfoundland, the Blackwood Gallery, Toronto and the Art Gallery at University of Ulster at Belfast, Ireland. Her commissions included projects for the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra and Parks Canada.

Many art museums as well as outstanding private and public collections contain her work, such as American Express, Bell Canada, the Canada Council Art Bank, the Canadian Department of External Affairs and Shell Oil. Elected to the Royal Canadian Academy of Art in 1995, she received an honourary degree from Memorial University in 1997 and was awarded the Queen’s Jubilee Medal two weeks before she passed away in January 2003.
