Barry Lorne was born in the Northern Milltown of Lancaster, England, and raised in the government Tenement housing projects. He immigrated to Canada at the age of fourteen and began an apprenticeship under a Hungarian Master painter. He completed his education with a B.F.A. from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada. He eventually became a teacher, writer, editor in-chief, and most recently, a curator for a contemporary art space.
