Photographer
I'm simply a photographer who's in love with New Mexico. It's through the magic of photography that I am able to capture and share the beauty of New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment.

Virginia Barrett
Poet, Author, Artist, Educator
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.
Inger Jirby Gallery
Southwest Paintings and Watercolors
Inger Jirby Gallery features the colorful and expressionistic collected works of Inger Jirby, as well as five sculptors - Fredrick Prescott, Liam Denevan, Priscilla Hoback, Rick Hewitt. and Brian Caudillo.
About the Taos Arts Council
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.
