Barbara Konior

Artist, New Mexico

BJ grew up in California. As a child she won awards for her pottery then turned to painting as a teenager. BJ studied technique in oils and acrylics but preferred the quick-drying nature of acrylics as she continued to perfect her skills. Her creative grandmother taught her to crochet at age eleven, a craft she has returned to as an adult. BJ got her degree in Commercial Art Design and Interior Design in Cupertino, CA and has continued art studies and self-education ever since. Art has been a lifelong passion. BJ has exhibited in Albuquerque and Taos, and has been a favorite in the Questa Art Tour since 2021.
