Will Barnet grew up in the 1930's and 40's in New England. He studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Barnet's work is centered around relationships between people and his family. His later works (1970's) began to focus on denizens of New York- going about their daily lives.

He works in consideration of the two-dimensional. He is distinguished by his craftsmanship of color and form.
