Will Barnet grew up in Beverly, Massachusetts, and as a child began spending hours sketching and reading art books at the local library. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and then moved to New York in 1930 to concentrate on lithography. He taught and produced art in New York for more than sixty years. From the 1950s on he would spend every summer producing art in Maine.

Barnet was known for his paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints. His subject matter often depicted the human figure, his own family - who were often often represented within casual scenes of daily life - and also in transcendent dreamlike worlds emphasizing shapes and careful arrangement of colors that capture moods and feelings.
