A beautiful and tender example of Alaskan regionalist folk art, this early serigraph showcases Muñoz's characteristic expressionist style.

“Rie Muñoz (re moo nyos), a Dutch-American, was born on August 17, 1921 in Van Nuys, California. Rie passed away in 2015. She lived in Alaska since 1951, when she traveled up the Inside Passage by steamship, fell in love with Juneau, and gave herself until the boat left the next day to find a job and a place to live. Since then Juneau had been home to Munoz.”
