Barry Mickleburgh's work combines the delicacy of linen with his own satirical observations of human nature.

Whether in a representational form or through the use of natural subjects, like crows and ravens it is a pleasure to observe the innate sense of humor that his work reflects. The human qualities that he infuses his subjects with can't help but bring a knowing smile to the viewer.

His use of birds that, in his words, "can look you in the eye' together with his intense colors produces a unique style of painting strong in drama and presence.
