"Rie Muņoz: One Hundred Original Watercolors"
1999-12-06 until 2000-01-09
Frye Art Museum
Seattle, WA, USA United States of America

Rie Muņoz (b. 1921) is well known through her colorful images of Alaskan life. Muņoz's playful, bright images of fishing camps, Eskimo villages, animals, and children at play have captured the spirit of Alaska. An adventurer at heart, Muņoz has traveled to the farthest reaches of the state by ferry, mail boat, automobile, bush plane, river barge, fishing boat, and even by umiak (a walrus skin covered boat.)

Born in Los Angeles, Muņoz began painting scenes of Alaskan native life in the 1950s when she first arrived in Juneau. During a varied career, Muņoz created murals for the University of Alaska and the Alaska State Library, wrote and illustrated a number of children's books, and was Curator of Exhibits for the Alaska State Museum. This exhibition is her eighth at the Frye.
