ALASKA MAGAZINE COVER

Rie Muñoz has landed the cover of the December 2005 Alaska Magazine which features her watercolor, “Double Duty,” plus a nice eight-page section of her work. This is the second time Muñoz has been honored on the cover; the first was the December 1993 issue which showed “Polar Bear and Fox.” To the best of our knowledge, Alaska Magazine, circulation 500,000, uses only photographs as their cover art, with the exception of Rie Muñoz! Make sure you get a copy of the issue. This is important documentation of a great artist’s work.

POLAR BEAR AND FOX PIN

Speaking of “Polar Bear and Fox,” Rie Muñoz has just come out with a new cloisonné pin featuring the popular silk-screen. It retails for $10 and is available now. Rie Muñoz worked with Caryl McConkie with the State of Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development who ordered two thousand with “State of Alaska” on the bottom of the pin. They will be used as gifts for the Alaska Host program which welcomes and educates industry personnel about the state.

MUNOZ ART ON FERRY SCHEDULE COVER

Rie Muñoz’s “Summer Voyage” silk-screen image adorns the cover of the new Alaska Marine Highway schedule. The image features the MV LeConte which services northern SE Alaska including Tenakee.

RIE MUNOZ PROGRAMS

Guests enjoying Margaret’s ‘Rie Muñoz program

Long time friend and collector, Margaret Symons of Seattle, has been offering Rie Muñoz programs. Margaret visits with various groups in the area that are interested in learning more about Rie Muñoz. She hands out fun Muñoz items, has door prizes, and generally enthralls her guest with a potpourri of personal facts and fun stories about Rie. From the looks of this photo it appears that they are all having a good time. Thank you, Margaret, for your continued enthusiastic promotion of Rie!

RIE MUNOZ ART CLASSES

Yes it’s true. The ten kids of the Tenakee school have Rie Muñoz for their art class teacher once a week for an hour during the fall months. The class has been sketching, painting and learning some of the basics of rendering their imagination in to art form. The photo is courtesy of Yvonne Mozée of Sitka, Alaska who came to visit Rie a couple of weeks ago in Tenakee.
