Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Klunder, Barbara, ca. 1948- : Barbara Klunder has worked for over two decades, primarily in Toronto, as a graphic artist and editorial illustrator. Using a multiplicity of media and formats, she confounds long-established boundaries between art and craft. During her career, Klunder's drawings have been used on book jackets, editorial pages, posters, t-shirts, and album and compact disc recording covers. She has designed ceramic ware, jewellry, knitting kits, stationery, hooked rugs, and clothing. Her large scale projects can be seen decorating many Toronto area buildings and restaurants. Defining herself as an "urban folk artist", Klunder uses her design work to express personal views on such social and political topics as the environment, women's equality and human rights. She continues to exhibit in craft galleries and museums across Canada.
