Deirdre Barron is a British-Canadian painter whose evocative acrylic landscapes and seascapes capture the quiet stories of the natural world. Working with vibrant colour and intuitive brushwork, Barron’s paintings reflect her deep connection to place—whether sketching on England’s coastal shores or painting in her Southern Ontario studio. Her work resonates with collectors who value warmth, clarity, and storytelling in contemporary realism.
After sailing from Bronte to Malaysia with her husband, Deirdre returned to her passion for painting—bringing with her a world of visual memory and emotional resonance. A lifelong artist, she began with pen and ink and watercolour, recording wildlife, countryside, and shifting shorelines. Today, her practice focuses on acrylic works that blend observation with imagination, often capturing ordinary moments in extraordinary light.
Barron’s portfolio includes charming animal portraits, expressive landscapes, and still life compositions—all of which convey a desire to preserve fleeting scenes. Her work has been exhibited and collected across Ontario through respected venues such as McMaster Innovation Park, the Dundas Valley School of Art, The Mann Gallery (St. Catharines), the Loft Gallery (Thornbury), and the Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB). She is an active member of several regional arts organizations including the Oakville Art Society, Pelham Art Association, and St. Catharines Art Association.
