Originally from a small town in East Lancashire, Jeanette Barnes studied a Fine Art degree at Liverpool Polytechnic were she fell in love with the energy of the city, the people, noise and architecture and decided to make the urban environment her subject matter. She went to London and studied Post graduates at the Royal Academy School and Royal College of Art. Drawing and printmaking are the main stays of her practice with a slight detour in putting found objects from the Thames together into sculptural collages. All her work is about a sense of history, journey and how people interact in city spaces, with the belief that people bring buildings and architecture alive.

She has had a studio in Hackney Wick for over 20 years documenting the change in the area as well as going to other cities around the world to draw on location and produce large works back at her studio. She has had many solo and joint exhibitions, has been awarded scholarships and prizes, wrote a book on sketching with her husband in lockdown, teaches drawing and has recently won the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize.
