Jeremy Barlow studied illustration at Northampton School of Art before working in art studios in London and the Midlands. His love of travel and ability to capture onto canvas his visions of foreign, yet familiar scenes, was indulged when in the early 1970’s as a full-time artist he went to live in Dusseldorf, West Germany. Here he concentrated on painting landscapes and townscapes of Holland, Belgium, Germany, France and Italy.

In 1983 he returned to the UK and he now lives with his wife and children in a small village in Norfolk. He has exhibited widely; at the Royal Academy, the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Royal Society of British Marine Artists, and major galleries in London and the provinces.
