Barrett, Jean

 Jean paints and draws using a variety of media but her current preference is watercolour and ink. Jean lives in Kangaroo Gully, WA. Her source of inspiration are the unique buildings of the towns and surrounding area of the Blackwood. Jean finds the naive style she adopts for these paintings, expresses the fabric and “feel” of the character-filled buildings. She considers her artwork a painted archive, preserving iconic and much loved heritage buildings of the past and present
