Please bear with me if I do not answer queries immediately, since Clive and I often travel in wilderness areas, away from easy internet access. This has its advantages, since I am inspired by travel, wilderness, community, culture and conservation, so I paint intensively while I am out of email contact!

Living between Chief Mahenye’s Village, the Save Valley Conservancy, and Harare, my art practice is intertwined with people, ecosystems, biodiversity, and I use life drawing, field sketches, painting, earth pigments, print, fibre and found objects collage and bark dyes, utilizing multi media and all the indigenous materials richly available in my multi-layered life ..

Monoprints created in the field, inspired by indigenous palms, (always I feel creatively immersed in the earth’s ecosystems). Here I am using the actual palm leaves I collect in the wild, as stencils for the print….. over which I paint..

My art practice is intertwined with painting and earth pigments, using clay from the areas that I live in..

Working towards various exhibitions 2025/2026, here is a collage of various artworks that I am working on, with the theme of Dance, (Kucina)

Dancing, music and ceremonial attire, including xibelani (chibabela) skirts, are an integral part of xangana culture, taking different forms in different areas of tsonga, hlengwe or ndau influence…all within Gaza Land, (the South East of Zimbabwe plus the adjacent xangana communities of Mozambique and South Africa). 

Printmaking was my major at Art College, and Print increasingly forms a seductive part of my art practice, using trash, discarded objects (such as here below using old styrofoam apple trays), I create rhythmic patterns, ‘music’, stories, (Ngano) on my painted canvases…

Lin Barrie, “Dance” 85 X 180 cm Acrylic and found objects print on loose canvas, 2024 painting title “Ngano and Fire” 153 x 170 cm Acrylic and found objects print on loose canvas 2024

Dance, movement and culture is a consistent inspiration in my art and poetry practice…and in this painting Dancing with my Sisters… 2018, the styrofoam apple trays which I inked and printed onto my canvas lent me a template onto which I stitched lines and lines of glass seed beads, such as the ones uses on traditional Xibelani (chibabela) dance skirts by our Hlengwe and Tsonga neighbours.

National Gallery, Zimbabwe, Blood Relatives group exhibition, my painting Dancing with my Sisters, Dancing with my Cellphone, 2018..

Lin Barrie, “Dancing with my sisters, Dancing with my cellphone”, acrylic/print and beadwork on canvas, 3 x 4 feet, 2018
Lin Barrie, Ipikai poetry submission May 2024,

In my painting “Dancing with my Sisters..”, I see the positive influence of technology plus art, traditional dance, and music on family relations and cultural collaborations.….. Even as she dances, this Mozambiquean woman (who came with her team to dance with us at Mahenye), clutches her cellphone! Often the dancers carry their cellphones in secret pouches, looped about their waists below their skirts, holders of their valuables… In my abstract paintings “Dance” and “Ngano and Fire” I portray my impressions of culture, connectedness symbolized by the printed “waves of music’. Ngano (karingano, traditional stories) are part of Mazuzo, a gathering around the fire. I portray dance, music, voices, evolving, creating elemental human culture. I embrace transcending boundaries, savouring the eternal present, the thread of culture that binds our ongoing existence, our sense of purpose, permanence and well being that is vital to us as humankind. 

Here is another collage of various artworks that I am working on, with the theme of Dance, (Kucina)

Baobabs, Muuyu, are iconic ‘trees that are not trees’, looming in our African landscape, informing our psyche, ultimate shade givers, water bearers, basketry fibres, pendulous pods providing energy giving muuyu pulp, new leaves used as a relish… these behemoths never fail to entrance me.

Baobab Dance
Lin Barrie, Baobab Dance, acrylic on stretched canvas, 91 x 61 cm (on display at Chilo Gorge Safari Lodge) 2022

smaller baobab sketches give rise to larger canvas paintings..such as this “Baobabs landscape”…

In the dry season the bare and twisting branches trace asemic marks across our african skies…

Lin Barrie, Baobab Pink I, acrylic on brown paper, 32 x 46,5 cm

In the wet season the full frilly baobab flowers echo ballerinas’ skirts…hanging in the tree they are a magnet for beetles and bees by day, and fruit bats by night…

When baobab flowers fall to the ground they are exquisitely vulnerable, beautiful in their decay….

Lin Barrie, Baobab Flower 2, charcoal on watercolour paper, A4

Can’t get enough of these shapes, crinkles and characters…blowsy, faded fallen dancers from the sky….

Creative Economy Week, Zimbabwe 2025… through the British Council in Zimbabwe and Danayi Madondo, Haus of Stone, (with whom I have previously collaborated by painting onto her wonderful clothes to create #fashionart), I was invited to conduct an Indigenous Materials Workshop – and I focussed on displaying baobab and lala palm fibre and some of my paintings and ‘dance’ skirts using found objects as ‘paintbrushes’ and Trichelia emetica, (natal mahogany, Khuhlu) a traditional bark dye used in our Mahenye Village…..

Lin Barrie Khulhu and Baobab paintings, khuhlu bark, lala palm and baobab fibre, shells and products on display at Creative Economy Week, Zimbabwe 2025

Here are three large paintings completed, using Khuhlu dye and Khulhu bark as a resist in sunlight, for more detail read my blog shortly to be published…

Lin Barrie Kuhlu Full moon fountainhead, Kuhlu Fibonacci, and Kuhlu Flow draped.

My art practice is intertwined with painting, earth pigments, print, fibre collage and bark dyes, utilizing multi media and all the indigenous materials richly available in my layered life ..

The world around me, biodiversity and environment, people, cities, wilderness and wildlife, informs my art practice, and I take inspiration from nature, sketching and stencilling/printing from life to create more abstract interpretations on canvas…art with a wellness message, a graphic declaration of re-connection, #Allthingsconnected

Close to my heart is the process of printmaking, monotypes and impressions, the intriguing reversal of images when pressed and printed between two sheets of substrate, and the resultant tension and dialogue between ‘left’ and ‘right’ images..

Lin Barrie, Don’t Touch, mixed media on paper, A3 2020

Hands, touch, separation, socialization and isolation being my theme, and how as social animals we need to find solutions to the way we interact, the way we treat each other…

on a continuing Covid/Social theme, Hand on Heart is a traditional Xangana (Changana) greeting, perfectly stating warmth, respect and care for the other person without having to actually touch…

Lin Barrie, Hand on Heart, charcoal/acrylic on stretched canvas, 3 x 2 feet 2021

Hand on Heart and To Touch or Not To Touch echo the dilemma of a human connection, a handshake, touch being so essential to our animal sense of wellbeing, but forbidden during a time of pandemic…. and Thorns and Baobab reflect environmental challenges…these were Exhibited at Gallery Delta, “Signs of the Times” exhibition… 2021

Msasa memories

as winter mood

Maroon and sienna,

leafy salad bowls

of sweet orange

and pink grapefruit

are presented against

a tablecloth of

textured african sky;

sweet orange sunsets

edible skyscapes

delicious dawns.

Msasa Memories,

metallic copper

taste and colour,

tingling, tantalizing

the palate

the palette

into which I dip

Elephants, elephants, elephants…!

My life and art is inspired by the Xangana (changana/shangaan) communities that I live with, such as the Hlengwe (of Mahenye), and the Tsonga of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA)….

Mahenye life ia a constant “DANCE” with nature, with elephants! My work embraces communities living with wildlife, conservation challenges. We literally live with these wonderful graceful yet potentially invasive behemoths!

Of course, I paint elephants and the feeling of elephants… as in this canvas painting “Elephant Bull”, acrylic and charcoal on stretched canvas, 100 x 80, seen here in a collage with my “Xangana man dancing” painting and Mahenye cattle on the sands of the Save River.

life is a dangerous dance… communities living with wildlife, conservation challenges.

At the Market, painting and poem by Lin Barrie

At the Market poem by Lin Barrie

At the market and masked,

none of us breathe deep.

Muzzled and muffled,

we recycle our own stale air

instead of stopping…

Stopping to smell. 

Stopping to suck

the sweet scent of bunched flowers

harvested from the farm,

plucked from the garden.

Flowers are livelihoods…

Livelihoods for industrious farmers who grow rows rows and more rows of kalaidescopic colour and scent. Blossoms and greenery ripe for plucking, packing, and shipping to markets in far cities and suburbs. 

Livelihoods for florists, stylists, event divas and upmarket coffee shops  who create bundles of celebration, bunches of hope, bouquets of scented sadness, posies of love, wreathes of loss and remembrance.

Livelihoods for street hawkers who count their pennies and buy chrysanthemums and arum lilies at the flower market, to sell as they crouch under patchy thatch shelters next to second hand clothes, mobile phone chargers and plastic shoes at dusty roadside markets

Livelihoods for the jobless who can count no pennies and who gather faded rejected blooms from the market to sell somehow, somewhere. Who gather, from the wild, protected flame lilies and leopard orchids. Botanical attractions to sell on the side of potholed dusty roads or to hawk to slow moving drivers at congested intersections.

Flowers are gifts…

fresh for giving, 

faded for selling.

Flowers are

Solace to the bereaved, 

Joy to the beloved,

Hope to the ill,

Sweet balm to the depressed.

A reminder to the cynical, to be less so.

Take off your mask, your muzzle…..

bury your nose

in the petals

of a rose.

Take off your glasses, your rose tinted spectacles…

rest your eyes

on the beauty

of a flower.

Faced with a deep personal loss, this painting grew….

“Embrace Equity” was exhibited in 2023 at the National Gallery….

Lin Barrie, “Embrace Equity” 
Mixed Media on canvas, 150 x 200 cm

Equity 

is a state of being… 

Unfettered 

by social norms… 

Released 

by uplifting groundswell… 

Battered by circumstance, 

not equal, by others standards … 

Empowered by sacrifice, 

embraced with support, 

in accordance with individual need… 

I have dreamed; 

I have traced tree trunks; 

I have stared at torsos; 

I have envisaged Golgotha. 

All Things Connected. 

Lin Barrie
