Barbarian®

Barbra Ignatiev - Watercolor Artist

Barbra Ignatiev is the artist behind BARBARIAN®, a Santa Cruz based creative brand rooted in freedom, self expression, and BIG love. Surrounded by palm trees and coastal light, Barbra creates joyful, boundless prints that invite you to be bold, get messy, and embrace yourself fully along the way.

Founded in 2014 after relocating to California, BARBARIAN® began as a personal creative outlet and quickly grew into a widely recognized brand. Barbra’s work has been featured in major US retailers, appearing on everything from bedding and swimwear to ceramics, calendars, and wallpaper. 

Working primarily in watercolor, Barbra describes her style as carefree and intuitive, often dancing while she paints to stay loose and present. For Dandillie, Barbra created Alpaca Abundance, a cozy and playful design inspired by the comforting softness and whimsical expressions of alpacas, making it a natural fit for children’s wear!
