Virginia Barrett
Poet, Author, Artist, Educator

January 22, 2021

Virginia Barrett's poetry invites an excursion into a varied landscape of voice and form. Stylistically, poems range from intimate lyrics to expansive narratives. The work can be playful, meditative, visionary, challenging, and open to experimentation. Her thematic span uses a wide lens. Poems include female-centric pieces on childhood and family history, ekphrastic works exploring issues that artists often face in unsupportive (even hostile) societies, urban-inspired musings, adventures into myth, and mystical encounters in the natural world.

Vibrant, ultra-realistic images in color pencil. I apply 3-5 layers of Prisma color pencil on 100% rag paper. My landscapes are saturated with intense color and depth. Even the white of clouds is full of 3 layers of color.

About the Taos Arts Council

What the Arts Council Does

The Taos Arts Council was founded in 2012 with the vision to create a central hub in support of the Arts and Artists Community in Taos, Taos County and Northern New Mexico.

Towards that longstanding goal, the TAC has been actively working towards defining its positioning in relation with the other entities and initiatives currently in Taos — such as the Town of Taos, The Taos Business Consortium, Art Space, Mainstreet, Strong at Heart and similar such government or grassroots organizations.

The stated approach for the Taos Arts Council is to support all constructive dialogue and action between organizations and individuals that is mutually beneficial to all involved.

Activities and Goals Include:

Need to Work with Local Government(s)
Need for Information Sharing
Need for Public Art & Spaces
Identifying Cooperative Efforts
Coordinated Activities Between Arts Related Organizations
Acting as Public Voice for Local Arts Community
