Biography

A painter, illustrator and printmaker associated with the Taos Moderns, Barbara Latham was born in Walpole, Massachusetts in 1896. She trained at the Pratt Institute and with Andrew Dasburg at the Arts Students League in Woodstock, New York, before working as an illustrator in New York City.

In 1925 she traveled to Taos, New Mexico to create illustrations for a greeting card company, and met the painter Howard Norton Cook. The two married in 1927 and settled permanently in Taos in 1933.

Latham's work depicts New Mexico landscapes and the scenes and people of Taos. She also won many accolades for her children's book illustrations.
