What collectors are saying...
"I live with three works by Barbara Solberg --
a pastel, a painting, and a mixed media piece (on loan from a
friend). For me, Barbara's work taps into universal rhythms and
archetypes. Looking at her work every day is a privilege that
connects me to what is basic and deep. These works remind me what
it is to be alive, to be human, to be on Earth with all these
other beautiful souls."
- Lori Brack Poet
"Barbara Solberg's art has qualities that are
simultaneously earth and universe connected. Her art quietly and
profoundly takes me to another place and that place is calm, intelligent
and connected."
- JoAnn Smith Dean, KU Continuing Education

"Barbara's painting is the center of our newly
designed room. The painting, of the Smoky Hill River, exudes the
communion with nature, from the timeless flow of the water in
the river, the stateliness of trees lining the banks, to the clouds
in the sky communicate the beauty of Kansas and the sense of life
ever flowing. Barbara's works have life in them, with a sense
of connectedness to the land."
- Kirk Perucca Private Collector
"Barbara's work touches me at a very deep level.
I have several of her pieces in my home and office, because they
bring a sense of tranquility to my space. I appreciate her use
of color, texture and natural artifacts, which seem to ground
the energy in the room."
- Mikell Adams Chiropractor
"I love Barbara's work because it comes from
a place of deep experience that clearly comes through. As a consequence,
the work is inspirational, grounding and has a complexity which
makes it never boring hanging on the wall, even years later. I
find it evocative and healing."
- Rita Stucky Psychologist
