Barratt studied wood and stone carving and gilding at London Art School, and an MA in architecture at East London University.
Much of his work is contemporary in concept and content, and his practice owes much to the skills he learnt in his early trades as a carver and restorer. He works in a number of mediums, including studio glass, wood and marble. His work has been exhibited internationally, and has completed commissions for many prestigious clients including the BBC and the Palace of Westminster. He was elected to the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1993, and director for the Burghley Sculpture Garden in 1997.
