Anthony Barton lives with his wife Fredeswinda in their home overlooking Conception Bay. He admires wave-worn stones washed up by storms on remote, pristine beaches in hidden coves, and the way the sunlight and moonlight bounce from stone to stone, casting strange shadows.

‘When Anthony Barton was nine years old, he would explore the reefs of Australia and gaze at electric blue fishes darting around the tropical corals, or don sneakers and explore rock pools “something like pools in Newfoundland, only brighter”… Barton sees with eyes; he doesn’t just look.’ -- Kathleen Winter, writing in the Sunday Express.
