Bareiss Gallery, 15 Route 150, Taos, NM  87571, (575) 776-2284, pbareiss@taosartappraisal.com, camillabareiss@yahoo.com

“Loving in the War Years, Camilla Bareiss’s new works; powerful metaphoric images depicting her lifelong interest in humanity’s endeavor to create war juxtaposed with the soul’s desire to connect with others regardless of which side of the war fence they sit.  In Camilla’s words, “Put most simply, my work is about Humanity, War and Peace.  It is a study in archetypes. The Hero, the Dark Horse, the White Horse, the Beauty Queens, Juliette re-imagined as D’Ua Khalil, the Burning Bridge, the Isolated Traveler (The Astronaut), Death and the Eternal Mountain.  This current series is an illustration of my view of the current state of War around the globe and through history.  It is an acknowledgement of both its presence and the miraculous peace that surrounds me.”
