I met Jack Barrett when I was a high school student. I wrote him a letter telling him how much I admired his work. He wrote me back and invited me to spend a day with him at the St. Pete Times watching him work etc. He even treated me to lunch in the Time's cafeteria. It was fascinating watching him work (this was before computers) and I got to meet alot of the other artist that day, including Don Addis. A few years later I graduated from college and worked as a Commercial Artist for the Eckerd Corp. I will always treasure that day I spent with Jack. Rest in peace. Sincerely Yvonne Rinzivillo Nowak

Jack Barrett will live in my memory as an expressionist artist that made me really, truly look at art from a perspective I've never had before. In his paintings, I saw visions and imagination, dreams and connective conscience. I thank God for Jack Barrett's time on earth to bless us with the beauty of his unique and thought-provoking images. His work was so haunting and , to the observer, so incapable of being read. Jack painted a mystery and never-ending story in each of his works, as impressed upon me.

Hello, I met Louise Barrett at simple living. We spoke about completing Jack's book. I'll be available after the new year to begin this project for you. I have several samples of other books and material I've designed. Thank you very much. Have a happy holiday. Phillip Clark 727.455.4647

I used to work at the St. Pete Times, and have a generous portrait that Jack did of me way back in 1983 that I just rediscovered. I really cherish it. He was a kind gentleman. I'm sorry to see that he is gone and am sure that he is greatly missed even still. It's great to see his artwork living here on this website. Thank you.

My brother Chuck turned me on to this artist and I am glad he did. The works are joyous, celebrating life with a vibrant palette and a great personal style. I imagine he was a vital, warm and passionate man judging by his work.

You were the best and still are. You and your wife have a special soul, how wonderful you connected, to make your art more special.I only met you once at your studio, but that was enough. You opened up your eyes and let me see your soul. I gave you a book on Picasso I brought back from Spain, and you smiled, that moment remains with me forever.

After meeting Louise tonight, I got right on to the web site and found the brilliance of Jack Barrett. I'm so glad I did and can't wait to see more of his work, in person, and learn more about him and his prodigious talent.

Jack was just the kind of guy you liked immediately - genuine, friendly, no pretense. You could talk about art with Jack and have a conversation, not receive a lecture. He was uniquely talented but also just a fellow interpreter of the personal, artistic side of life, which we all have but few nurture. We miss him ...

Jack and Louise were always very kind to me as an aspiring young cartoonist. He was a mentor and a true friend during my formative years. I have a number of letters he sent as well as some wonderful original art of his which he gifted to me. My family remembers him fondly as well. His talent and his shining personality will be missed.

After more than a decade, Jack Barrett Art Studio at the Saltcreek Artworks closed July 2012. Louise and I started a Facebook page for Jack since the closing of his studio. We wanted some way to continue to promote his legacy and let people know about future projects, exhibits and events. Please take a look when you have a moment at Facebook.com/jackbarrettart. Thank you for your support.
