Barry Mack: Awakening in the Flow

 

Barry Mack’s art flowed as a visual language from early childhood. Expression through drawing and painting expanded during his formal education.

At 22, he began searching for answers to our biggest questions. He traveled the world in search of answers. What he found constantly fuels his work.

Through love, health and money challenges, painting was his way to communicate what felt real. He experienced the highs and lows of Life. From heartbreak and poverty to professional success, marriage and constant creative exploration, painting provided a powerful form of communication.
