The Let It Shine Public Art Partnership recently u The Let It Shine Public Art Partnership recently unveiled a new mural by Laura Barrios on the train platform at the Berkshire Regional Transit Authority Intermodal Center located at 1 Columbus Avenue, Pittsfield. This project is part of the “Emerging Artist Program” which is now in its third year.

Laura worked alongside mentor artist, Jesse Tobin McCauley, to develop and execute a 20’w x 6’h mural on the train platform alongside three other existing murals.

Laura Barrios is a Colombian visual artist who has built her career through drawing, painting, tattooing, and muralism. Her artistic training and experiences in different cities and countries have enriched her visual language, characterized by realism, attention to detail, and a deep connection with nature.

As an immigrant artist who has continued to develop her career in Massachusetts, Laura finds in art a way to tell stories, create connections, and build new bonds with the communities around her.

Her mural in Pittsfield features a setting inspired by the forests of the Berkshires, where three migratory birds take center stage in a composition that celebrates the beauty of nature and the journeys that connect different territories. Through these birds, the work also evokes the human experience of migration: leaving behind a familiar place, crossing borders, and adapting to a new environment without losing the connection to one’s origin. The mural invites reflection on belonging, empathy, and respect for each person’s right to seek opportunities and build a home of their own, wherever life takes them. Through this work, Laura celebrates the diversity of the paths that unite us and the importance of recognizing that we all deserve a place to call home.
