Tanja Konwinski (b. 1988) is a California born, New York state based artist, often working in black pen.

I started drawing at age 10 and have for the past two plus decades turned my love for pattern and texture 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 reproduction and design business Rose Hollow Design, which offers high quality prints of her work as well as large scale custom projects, such as her piece Reunion commissioned in 2015. Rose Hollow is a mission driven company, directly supporting Tanja’s community service work through The Commons of Schoharie Valley (whole-self health programs, biodiversity resilience initiatives, art & science engagement, and poverty action). As part of The Commons, Tanja has been working on the design and development of a small public garden/square that sits on Main Street in Middleburgh, NY. Information about this project can be found: here.

Tanja works from a wonderful home studio in the Schoharie Valley of New York state.
