Jenny Barron
Jenny Barron lives in Watchet in West Somerset. She was born in the West Country to a horticulturalist Cornish father and an art loving Russian mother. She grew up in East Africa and later The Isles of Scilly and Somerset.
Jenny studied textile design at The Central School of Art in London.
She worked designing textiles and wallpapers, mainly for the American market with Chelsea Textile Designs. Jenny then produced illustrations and designs for kitchenware with Wilscombe Melamine in Somerset.
In 1988 a series of paintings of rare Magnolias submitted to the RHS won a Silver Gilt medal and led to a first solo show of paintings.
Since then Jenny has exhibited every year at her home in Watchet, sometimes as part of the Somerset Arts Weeks and also in galleries in the UK, most notably the Medici Gallery in London and with Wolsely Fine Art in the Cork Street still-life exhibitions.
The Artist has had pictures selected for the RWA and The Discerning Eye.
