Audrey Barcio
Assistant Professor of Art
Audrey Barcio’s research-based approach explores how abstract visual languages serve as a foundation for the architecture of human culture. Through abstract symbolic painting, she develops a visual vocabulary centered on equality, unity, and strength.

She earned her MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and her BAE from the Herron School of Art and Design. She has completed residencies at the Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Rogers Foundation.
Her work has been featured in New American Paintings, New Art Examiner, Occhi Magazine, PATTERN, NUVO, Las Vegas Weekly, and on NPR. Recent exhibitions include The Painting Center (New York), the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (South Korea), the Contemporary Art Center (Cincinnati), the Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis (CAMi), Syracuse University, the Studio at Sahara West (Las Vegas), Echo Arts (Bozeman), and the Evanston Art Center. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, and the Rogers Foundation.
