Sale of Works by Kathleen Spencer Johns to Benefit the Lillian Romero Senior Center at the Taos Pueblo
On View: December 13, 2022 -January 22, 2023 in the Fechin Studio Kathleen Spencer Johns has always had a soft spot for the elderly. As a high school art teacher, she had a strong desire to impart to her students the wonders and wisdom of connecting deeply with others from all walks of life. So when she and her students had an opportunity to serve the Taos Pueblo, she was delighted that elders would be a part of the journey. |
Lillian Romero, the director of the Taos Pueblo Senior Center, was a huge inspiration to Spencer Johns because of her commitment to improving the lives of the Pueblo elders. Romero would only retire after more of her dreams for the senior center were realized. Unfortunately, her life was cut short, and she passed.
Romero was so influential on Spencer Johns that she proposed a fundraiser to support the continuation of Lillian’s dreams of improved care for the elders in the form of an art exhibition in Taos Art Museum’s Fechin Studio. Leadership at the Senior Center and Taos Art Museum were supportive, and Spencer Johns was thrilled to be in service to this beautiful undertaking to further care for the elders.
The show includes paintings, solar plates, and monoprints of the Taos Pueblo, as well as portraits.
