Barbara Conley

Barbara has been active in the arts since high school. She began art classes in 1970 and began showing and selling her paintings soon after. Her interest in Teddy Bears grew from her interest in antique doll collecting. She wanted to add a teddy bear as an accessory to a special doll but the price was too great. She felt that she could make a bear that would serve her purposes. Her intention has become another avenue of expression for her artistic talents and the basis of an extensive collection of stuffed animals.
One example of Barbara expressing her many talents talents is on the cover for the winter 1998 issue of Teddy Today. Her profile is located in the following spring 1999 issue.
Since her husband's retirement Barbara has given up her much loved Queen Anne Victorian home for a place in the country. This rural setting is the heart of her inspiration for many paintings. A few of her paintings are featured here at the New Masters Gallery.
