Barbara Romain (1948–2024) was a Philadelphia-born, Los Angeles–based painter. Over thirty-seven years her work was shown in more than a hundred exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the National Exhibits by Blind Artists exhibition, October 2004; the de Young Museum, San Francisco; and Kunst im Stapelhaus, Cologne. She called her mature body of work “visual music.” These prints are released under authorization of the Estate of Barbara Romain.
