Barbara Klunder is an artist gifted in many genres and media, from book and magazine illustrations, 4 font designs, to paper-cuts, puppet-theatre and textile works. 
 
For this collection of small gouache paintings on wood at Paul Petro Contemporary Art (Jan 2025), she has been inspired by historical folktales, fables, and belief systems, gently subverting them in order to, yet again, warn us about our fragile environment. 
 
Her work is in the permanent collections of the Royal Ontario Museum, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Textile Museum of Canada, the University of Toronto Rare Book Collection, The Arts & Letters Club, and Toronto Archives.
