MUNOZ NEWS
Bear in Town
Bear
in Town! SOLD OUT! This large lithograph sold out shortly
after it was released. We expected this piece to be popular
but were surprised at how quickly it sold out. The other
two lithographs, "Snow Geese" and "Cleaning
a Halibut" are still available.
HAPPY
84TH BIRTHDAY to our favorite artist! Munoz celebrated
her birthday with family and a big shrimp feed. Rie
is feeling super great and is painting and sketching
away.

The Rie Munoz
original watercolor exhibition at the 2005 Puyallup Fair went great. Munoz sold 25 of 45 paintings on opening day. Rie signed
hundreds of copies of her new book, "Alaska Through the Eyes
of an Artist" as well as her children’s books "Andy"
and "King Island Christmas". Rie had a good time seeing
old friends, art dealers, collectors as well as meeting many new
enthusiastic collectors for the first time. There were many third
generation Rie Munoz collectors present.
Before the
Puyallup Fair Rie Munoz made two gallery appearances, at Bend’s
Frame Design and Sunbird Gallery on their first Friday gallery
walk, as well as Labor Day weekend at Cannon Beach’s Haystack
Gallery. Large crowds were the norm. It was fun to be in America
again.

ALASKA
COIN COMMISSION
Rie Munoz
and fellow Juneauite Mark Vinsel have been appointed by governor
Frank Murkowski to head the commission to design and choose the
Alaskan image that will appear on the quarter of the "50-State
Commemorative Coin Program." Munoz and others on the committee
will help design and choose an image that will appear on the "tail"
side of the quarter that will go into circulation in 2008.
Of course we would a love to see a Rie Munoz quarter in circulation
say with an image of the Embrace or Polar Bear and Fox but its
not going to happen this way. The committee must focus on an Alaskan
subject, then write their concept in a narrative description.
This narrative is then forwarded to the artists back at the US
Mint and they will draw it out, thank you very much.
