About the Artist
Rie Muñoz's artwork is woven from the threads of Rie's own adventures, her love for Alaska, and her unwavering dedication to capturing its essence in every brushstroke.
From her whimsical depictions of daily life to the bold narratives inspired by Native Alaskan lore, Rie's work is a testament to the beauty, culture, and indomitable spirit of this majestic land.
Muñoz studied art at Washington and Lee University in Virginia, and at the University of Alaska-Juneau. She received the University of Alaska's Honorary Doctorate of Humanities Degree in May of 1999.
Her paintings, prints and reproductions are carried by galleries throughout the U.S. and Canada. She has had many solo watercolor exhibits in Alaska, Oregon and Washington State. She has devoted herself full time to her art since 1972.
Rie Munoz passed away suddenly on April 6, 2015 in Juneau after 93 years of a very adventurous life. She lived independently until the end and left us all with a marvelous legacy and memories of her view of the world through her artwork.
