Well hello there. I like to make art with a camera and, lately, a computer. I hope you enjoy the pics. Prints are available directly from my store at KentBarrett.com.

Kent Barrett was born in Manitoba in 1952 and
raised in Toronto Canada. He moved to Newfound-
land in the 1970s to work with Dudley Cox's New-
foundland Traveling Theatre Company. For the next
fifteen years Barrett worked with many of New-
foundland’s brightest stars of stage and screen.
Through his long association with the arts in New-
foundland, he has amassed an impressive docu-
ment of the music, theatre and arts scene in the
province he calls home.
During the 80s Barrett taught advanced darkroom
techniques at the MUN Extension Arts and worked
extensively with Manfred Buchheit on 19th century
printing techniques. Barrett's work carried over to
the electronic realm in the late 80s and he served
as photo editor for the International Teletimes, an
electronically distributed publication launched on
private networks predating the internet. Barrett is
recognized as a master printer and his works have
been exhibited in galleries from St. John's New-
foundland to Victoria BC and are found in many pri-
vate collections.
