Artist Barbara Earl Thomas is a longtime fixture on the Seattle art scene, having exhibited, written, and curated in the region for over 30 years. Her artwork spans the full range of media, including egg tempera painting, glass, cut paper, linocut and woodblock prints, sculpture, and installation. What it all has in common is her focus on storytelling, expressing her own experiences moving to Pacific NW with her family from the rural South, as well as depicting characters and beasts that express serious social issues, what she calls “the plague of our times”. Our talk coincides with the opening of her one-woman exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum, The Geography of Innocence, which we will use as a focal point for our conversation.

All art talks are virtual, and will be taking place via Zoom.

Art Talks are FREE to the public, but registration is required.
