ABOUT CONNIE B BURKHART

CONNIE B BURKHART


Widely  known  as  ‘ The  Dinosaur  Lady’,  Connie  B  has  embraced  her  multifaceted interests  and  talents  to  

create  a  life  that  allows  her  to  follow  her  dreams.  

She  is  a metal design artist, singer-songwriter, musician,  mother, educator in earth sciences and a

 true renaissance woman!


Living in canyon country where the ancient ones once walked has been a desire of hers for decades and in 2016 with her move from Lyons, CO to  Abiquiu, NM, her dream became a reality. Her studio and home sit nestled near the cliffs in the Chama River valley surrounded by red rock mesas,  archaeological sites and the amazing geology at the edge of the  Colorado plateau. 


Her gallery for  her  metal  designs  has found a home  the  Abiquiu  Dome, her unique adobe  structure  on HWY 84.

Just a few miles away is Ghost Ranch, where she began her adventures in the  art of burning metal during an Art Welding workshop.

Ghost Ranch offered Connie a space to indulge in many  art  forms as well as  ‘excavate’ her love of music, songwriting and hunting for fossils  and  cultural  artifacts  in  the  rich  history  filled  land  of  Northern  New  Mexico.   

She is an instructor at the ranch   teaching  Art  Welding  and  sharing  her  love of the high  desert through  

hiking  workshops  and  other  special  events.


One unique fact about Connie is that she grew up in the Hollywood scene, appearing on several shows including American Bandstand. 

Her close friendship with Marie Osmond allowed her to have many experiences of unbelievable measure. However, when Connie went on her first archaeology field trip in college, her life changed drastically as she

watched the sun setting over the slick rock canyon country for the first time. 


The wilderness became her inspiration for living life to it’s fullest, writing songs from the heart, digging  up  fossils,  

searching  for ancient treasures  on  long  hikes  and creating  metal  designs that are grounded in her soul.


With all the good things life sent her way there has also been tragedy.  

Regarding love she states, "Loss has been a part of my journey, but with  it came a love for which I can only be grateful". Her passion and determination to recognize heartache and celebrate life's gifts  translates into every aspect of her life. She and her four children share the love of the arts, their best times being spent together around  a campfire with guitars and the clear New Mexico night sky.


Connie's love of the Southwest flows through all of her work including the  images she produces with metal, the lyrics of her songs and the stories  she tells of hunting dinosaur bones  or  discovering  ancient  articfacts.  Her ability to celebrate her love of art and science blends her varied interests to her businesses - a  metal arts division, performance/CD division and the  geology//earth science  education division. 

She is also the host of ‘Sunflower Canyon Casita’ in Abiquiu, available through Airbnb.


For  Connie, creative inspiration comes from many things, whether it be  finding a treasure in a pile of scrap metal, exploring the land,  watching the sunset as it washes the land in warm light or finding 

a  sunflower that grows in the sand.
