ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Veronica Michelle Barker-Barzel is a painter and a printmaker. There is a strong connection and interplay between her paintings and her prints. The style is reflective of places that she has experienced and is stimulated by her personal background. It resonates with a bit of Russian futurism fused with urban surrealism.
Veronica was born in Washington, D.C., but grew up in Europe and spent her early twenties in Japan. She received her bachelors in liberal arts from University of Maryland University College. Veronica began her formal training in art when she began her post-baccalaureate studies at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She was raised in an artistic household, and her mother, Regina Barker-Barzel, is a long time painter and member of Falls Church Arts.
In 2012 Veronica received second place in a printmaker’s show at ArtSpace Falls Church. She had her first solo shows in Naples, Italy in the early 2000’s. She has also exhibited in Japan, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. More recently she has shown in the DC metro area, including a well-received solo show at MICA in October of 2013. She has been involved with the artist community in northern Virginia, including Del Ray Artisans and the Torpedo Factory. In 2016, Veronica joined the Printmakers Inc. studio of the Torpedo Factory. In 2017 she was juried into the Torpedo Factory Artist association and is currently serving on the board.
