Portrait by Chad Wagner (2018)
Tanja Konwinski (b. 1988) is a California born, NYC based artist primarily working in black pen.
I started drawing at age 10 and have for the past two decades turned my love for patterns and textures into a dedicated practice. I draw to find relief from the demands and grief of life, an intentional, often private, gift of time spent doing. Doing- without expectation or pressure for a specific result. Doing- in celebration of having the ability to and the life to. Action without fear or hesitation.
In turn, the viewer is invited to pause, breathe, and then reengage with life after a reprieve. Meticulous pattern, detail, and design come together to act as an offering to those seeking a respite in something beautiful.
Tanja owns and operates the stationery and design company Rose Hollow Design, which offers high quality prints of her work.
Tanja works from a wonderful home studio in the Schoharie Valley, NY.
