DORA HONORED AS A 2012 REMARKABLE WOMAN OF TAOS IN THE ARTS

“The Remarkable Women of Taos 2012 was a year-long celebration honoring outstanding historic and contemporary women of Taos. The women portrayed shared their passions, accomplishments, advice, and the challenges they met in life. Taken together their stories provide a sampling of the breadth and depth of the remarkable women who call Taos home, who experience the physical, and sometimes ineffable, influence of the land and of the generations who have inhabited it.” – Liz Cunningham, project coordinator

The Remarkable Women of Taos profiles were created into a book by Campaign Creator and Coordinator, Liz Cunningham through Nighthawk Press in 2013.
