Barry Treu


For the past six years, Barry Treu has dedicated his artistic talents to capturing the beauty of animals and landscapes through his paintings. He has also developed a specialty in creating pet portraits, showcasing his ability to bring beloved pets to life on canvas. Those interested in a unique pet portrait can contact Barry at barry.treu@att.net to discuss commissioning a piece.

During the pandemic shutdown in March 2020, Barry embarked on a bird portrait series titled "Threatened and Endangered." By focusing on the individuality of each bird through close-up portraits, he aims to evoke a more personal connection with the viewer. Each bird portrayed in the series is from the 2020 list of threatened and endangered birds in Illinois, shedding light on the importance of conservation efforts.

The prints of Barry Treu's bird portraits are available on canvas board and smooth cotton paper, with a portion of the profits going towards the Audubon Society. The canvas board prints come ready to hang with 3M command strips, while the smooth cotton paper prints will need to be framed or mounted. By purchasing these prints, not only can you enhance your home or office decor, but you can also contribute to a meaningful cause.

Each canvas print and smooth cotton paper print sold will help support the Audubon Society's conservation efforts, with additional donations made for framed canvas prints. Consider ordering multiple prints to maximize your contribution and create a stunning display of Barry Treu's artwork in your space. Take action today by purchasing these unique bird portraits and supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
