Susan Barry

Genuine Sheds is founded on the principles of creating spaces for individuals and families to expand and grow. We are committed to crafting quality studios and sheds, and this has led us to meeting extraordinary people! We work with people who are utilizing the space as a music or art studio, writing corner, launching their business etc, we are always amazed at all that then gets done in the cozy spaces we build together. We are pleased to bring some of these small businesses and creators to light! 

Biography and story of the amazing Susan Barry:

From a young age I always drew and painted in my spare time. I took drawing courses and as an adult I explored all mediums I could discover. Of course I had those wonderful years of college to really wallow in Art. But then as it is working as a teacher, raising boys and traveling, living in many different countries, I learned to create where I could find space.

I painted in water colors and oils then became hooked on clay. I eventually built a studio in my garage. We moved two more times, and in that time I figured out exactly what I wanted in my next studio. A temperature controlled, light filled, comfortable space.

Being able to custom design my studio with Genuine Sheds was fantastic. Two sets of windows and a big sliding door that creates loads of light year round. The heat pump allows the perfect temperature all year round. My view is my garden and the mountains beyond, both are inspirational for my creative process. The square space has allowed a big bookcase that houses my glazes and has ample space for my work benches.

Its such a pleasure to step into my art studio each day, its easy to create art in this magic place.

We are so grateful for the kindness, talent and magic that is Susan Barry! We love our clients so much! Check her out on Instagram here.
