Árnason.They married in 1937 and she moved to Iceland the same year. Barbara was already known as a book illustrator before moving to Iceland, and also became known there for pioneering work in wood engraving and for watercolors of landscapes and children. She also worked with textiles, and in her final years with watercolor engraving."
