Artwork by Arne Barker

Arne is a self-taught artist living in Wiltshire, Arne’s artwork is predominantly landscape and he also enjoys exploring elements of surrealism in his work. Sadly Arne was diagnosed with a rare bone disease in both his knees and feet called Avascular Necrosis, this has put an end to his love of the outdoor country life. In coping with his disability and discomfort, he returned to his art and brushes.
