Based in Austin, Texas · Available worldwide · Event planning, staffing & marketing
Hi, I’m Fisher Koons. With years of festival and conference experience and a network of top-level creatives and contractors, I plan, staff, and market events for food and consumer brands. Every detail is made by humans, for humans.
Each month I spotlight one creative from my network whose work I love.
Libby Barret (b. Tyler, Texas) is an artist who received her BFA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. Libby utilizes chairs and vignettes of table settings that address rest, communication, conversation, community and identity. Using primarily soft pastels or oil pastels as her mediums of choice, Libby draws intuitively from memories at home and afar. Libby currently lives and creates in Austin, Texas.

Libby Barret’s work explores rest, communication, and identity through familiar objects and imagery associated with the home. Working across painting, printmaking, and pastel drawing, she recontextualizes chairs, tables, textiles, and domestic vignettes to evoke moments of stillness, connection, and reflection. Through layered textures and thoughtful compositions, Barret transforms everyday objects into symbols of human presence, exploring how domestic spaces shape conversation, memory, and belonging. Her work considers the table as a gathering place for care, dialogue, and shared experience, offering a sense of home that extends beyond physical space into the emotional connections we share.
