Agility of style opens the door to a myriad of artistic dialects. It allows me the ultimate freedom to speak through color, shape, subject, or gesture.

It is not accidental that this place carries that name — or that the work made here carries it too. A field, in the scientific sense, is where careful observation happens. Where specimens are gathered, examined, and rendered with precision and wonder in equal measure. Where the seen world is recorded before it slips away.
That is what happens here.
The Field Room is Nancy Kirk’s working studio and gallery — a private space in El Prado, New Mexico, ten minutes from the center of Taos, on land that has always belonged to something larger than any of us.. It is where the miniatures are made: small oil paintings on panel, each one a kind of field study — rendered with the eye of a natural historian and the hand of someone who has painted theater walls in Florence and restored Broadway’s gilded ceilings.
The scale is intentional. Small things demand full attention. They ask you to come close.
Every piece that leaves here carries its provenance — title, medium, dimensions, date, and signature — on a label affixed to the back. It came from somewhere specific. It was made by a specific person, in a specific light, looking at a specific thing. That particularity is the point.
Studio visits are by appointment. If you are coming to Taos, come a little further.
