Came to Narrogin from Britain in 1924 to manage a newly established pottery and arrived to find that the kilns were installed wrongly. Unfortunately the business failed and Barker moved on to Albany in 1928. His paintings and ceramics were exhibited in 1984 in Perth and Albany in an exhibition organised by the Centre for Fine Arts University of WA. Samples of his work are on permanent display at the Narrogin Courthouse Museum. Including the portrait of Senator Edward Bertram Johnston painted in 1925, three watercolour paintings and samples from the Narrogin Pottery Company.
