Kent Barrett was born circa 1950 and raised in Newark NJ and Toronto Canada. He moved to Newfoundland in the 1970s to work with Dudley Cox's Newfoundland Travelling Theatre Company. For the next fifteen years Barrett worked with many of Newfoundland’s brightest stars of stage and screen. Through his long association with the arts in Newfoundland, he has amassed an impressive document of the music, theatre and arts scene in the province he calls home.

 

During the 80s Barrett taught advanced darkroom techniques at the MUN Extension Arts and worked extensively with Manfred Buchheit on 19th century printing techniques. Barrett's work carried over to the electronic realm in the late 80s and he served as photo editor for the International Teletimes, an electronically distributed publication launched on private networks predating the internet. Barrett is recognised as a master printer and his works have been exhibited in galleries from St. John's Newfoundland to Victoria BC and are found in many private collections.
