Barbara Berkesch
Barbara Berkesch was born in Northern Ohio and spent most of her life there. She enjoyed showing, raising and breeding Great Pyrenees in her early adulthood. Upon receiving a carved leather Great Pyrenees key chain, she became fascinated with leather craft. This fascination began Barb’s journey of working with leather. She became a member of the North Coast Leather Guild, Crooked River Leather Artists and Berea fine Arts Club.
Upon retiring in 2016, Barb moved to Llano, Texas and joined the Llano Art Guild. Much of Barbara’s art has been inspired by her love and appreciation of the natural world. Since moving to Texas, Western symbols have been introduced into many of her pieces. In addition to patterned items Barb offers personalized and custom creations.
