Rosemary Barrow can often be seen on The Square in Barnstaple absorbing the atmosphere and busily painting the scenes around her.  Her lively watercolours capture the vibrancy of the town as well as some of the well-known landmarks..

A gifted and prolific artist Rosemary went to the Royal College of Art in the sixties and has exhibited at the Royal Academy so we are delighted to be able to exhibit a few of her many paintings at the Museum, several of which will also be available to purchase. Do come and have a look they are bound to catch your eye!
