NEWS LETTER |
Rie Returns Home from Morro Bay
Rie had a super time in Morro Bay, California for the last couple of months, but was equally excited to return home. She's most interested in what 'the latest" is with her little grandson Matthew. Juan usually has some fun anecdote to share in the way of a new move or word he has mastered.
Rie did a few paintings while on the coast. Sea lions, birds, bright colors and a quiet fishing industry all make for great subject matter.
Rie is off to the Iditarod Dog Sled Race
A couple days after returning from California, Rie jumped on a plane to
Nome to check out the last part of the 2008 Iditarod Race. No, She didn't
run in the Iditarod but did a number of great sketches for future
paintings
Unlike most, Rie didn't care to see who won. she just wanted to sketch and get the flavor of the race so she showed up a week after the winner came in. just in time to watch the 'red Lantern' prize (the last team in) given to a local Juneau musher, Debbie Bicknell. Later that night Rie and Debbie dined together and Rie got to hear all about the long journey.
Message in a Bottle
Rie got an e-mail the other day from a gentleman in British Columbia saying he had found a four year old message in a bottle from Rie! Rie and a couple of friends were on the way to Unalaska and having finished a bottle of gin they cheerfully wrote a message in a bottle and threw it in ;the rough waters of the Gulf of Alaska. This chap was beach combing for Japanese glass balls in Lepas Bay near the old Haida village of Kiusta on West coast of the Queen Charlotte Islands. the message written on one of Rie's art cards was a mainly complaining that they had lots of olives left but no gin.

Anchorage Museum Show
Rie Munoz had a super original art exhibition up in Anchorage with the artist's reception on December 1. Several hundred people came to see Rie and her 45 original water colors and three tapestries.
Rie Moves OFF Starr Hill
After 45 years of living in the historic Starr Hill neighborhood in downtown Juneau, Rie has moved closer to sea level. Rie purchased a condo downtown last month where she doesn't have so many treacherous steps to negotiate and she's within a short walking distance to stores and the Post Office. Many friends live in the same complex as well as many long time Juneauites. Starr Hill is snowy ,slippery and a bit hazardous five months out of the year and Rie's car is often buried in snow for a couple of those. She now has covered parking and for first time in many years she has a bed and dinning table." I just love it here", exclaimed Rie.
Off to California
Like a snowbird flying south for the winter, Rie is making her annual migration to a warmer climate. During January and February Rie will rent her small house overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Morro Rock. From this base camp she'll take walks along the waterfront, visit her brother and nephew, stretch and paint. She says there will be plenty of scenes there for her to sketch and maybe paint.
Where is Rie?
She headed up to Anchorage for a book & poster signing this weekend, November 30th. Rie's looking forward to seeing and visiting with friends and fans. Surely the adventures in the "King Island Journal" will be a fantastic discussion topic for all. We have the book "The King Island Journal" and the poster "Bear in Town" available for sale now, and the book is available at your local library.

Cannery Dish Washer and "Lentil Soup are now sold out. We have a few of the "Steam Bath, Unalaska", if you've been thinking about it, don't wait.
Rie's back home Rie had a wonderful time in Morro Bay sketching and painting interesting scenes and subjects such as "De-Icer Morro Bay" one of many. The weather was much warmer and comfortable down there and she gets to visit family and friends and catch up on all the happenings. Soon after she arrived home in Juneau and acclimated a bit, it was time for Spring Break so the family headed out to Tenakee Springs and dug out the cabins from the record snowfall. As a bonus they got in on the last of the subsistence King Crab season and plenty of sketching and eating.
By the sounds and looks of things in Juneau, one would have to assume that Rie may be pretty excited to get back just to see her grand kids. Mercedes and Matthew surely have a way of keeping grandma Rie entertained.
Wonderful memory Shared This is a wonderful note and a couple pictures from a Rie Fan and friend ........... Dear Mary and Bill "Rie's new print, "Lentil Soup", reminds me of the stove at Ophir, when I worked on the Iditarod. There, the soup pot was on the stove, but without the lid! Let's hope there was no soup cooking in the pot. When the mushers came in, they not only dried their own mittens, but the dog booties as well. I thought you might enjoy these pictures, which are so much like Rie's print. as usual, she captures the true flavor of Alaska. Regards, Sarah"
New print release
February 2007 New Prints Three new prints were released Friday, February 23, 2007. "Cannery Dish Washer" edition size 450. "Cannery Dish Washer" I was in Pelican recently. While sketching the cannery kitchen I noticed this unique dish rinsing apparatus. This was too good to pass up along with the pots and pans and general clutter. At first the cannery workers thought I was a health inspector with my sketch book in hand and serious demeanor. They all relaxed and went back to work when I told them I was just an artist. Rie Munoz "Lentil Soup" edition size 350. "Lentil Soup" These old stoves are marvelous to cook on, heat you house, and dry your clothes, all at the same time! They weigh a ton and are not very fuel efficient I'm told but they are cozy as all get out and I like to paint them. Rie Munoz "Steam Bath, Unalaska" edition size 650. "Steam Bath, Unalaska" When I was staying up in Dutch Harbor, Unalaska on the Aleutian chain last summer my friend, Ruth and I were invited to many social events. One of the livelier visits was this one where we were invited for a sauna with our neighbors. I guess that's one quick way to get to know someone. Rie Munoz We will have these prints ready for shipping on Friday February the 20th. Be sure to call or email to reserve your selections today. Rie's Relaxing in Morro Bay

Apollo was delivered at the Juneau hospital weighing 7lbs. and 3oz.

Artist Dale DeArmond Dies at 92 Longtime friend and fellow artist Dale DeArmond died Tuesday, November 28 at the Sitka Pioneers home. A prolific artist, DeArmond was especially known for her wood blocks and wood engravings featuring mythology and folklore of Alaska.
She was also a librarian in Juneau and I remember her ruling the library with an iron fist. One of her famous quotes was, "it's easy to be famous in Alaska!" Rie and Dale traveled to Europe together working on stone lithographs in Paris as well as throughout Alaska. They went up to the town of NonDalton, Alaska where thy both did a series of NonDalton Legend silkscreens; "Raven went Bear Hunting," "Raven had Two Wives," and "Woman Bear Legend." She will be Missed. Juan Muñoz
Chile Trip 2006 Juan, Cathy, Mercedes and Matthew recently went to visit family in Chile. They flew down in mid December and enjoyed the holiday season in a warmer climate. They got to celebrate New Years flying over Lima Peru. As their plane was descending, fireworks lit up the night sky through out the city and around the plane. Sounds like they had a great time and arrived home rejuvenated and warmed up. However winter in Juneau continued on in their absence, greeting them upon their return. Have a Rie Munoz day, "That’s about as good as it gets". Mary & Bill Lindsay

Rie Returns From the Aleutians Rie Returned to Juneau after a month and a half in Unalaska. She got lots of sketching and a little painting done. During Rie's visit the local Museum of the Aleutians put on a "Tea for Rie" About 70 or so locals showed up at the standing room only event. They drank tea and ate yummies while Rie gave a slide show of the paintings she's done over the years. Rie's first visit to the Aleutian Islands was 55 years ago when she and former husband Juan were on the North Star heading to King Island. This was her fifth trip to this remote island chain.

New Print Release August 10th 2006 Rie's latest print release includes these three fun summer prints "Pelican Fuel Dock", "Ella D" and "Commercial King Crabbers" Quilt Camp at Sea Since 2004, Len and Pat Tobin of Quilt Camp at Sea (www.quiltcampatsea.com) or (360-455-9926) have offered guests on their cruises a private reception and tour of the Rie Munoz Gallery in Juneau Alaska. During the visits, in addition to Rie meeting with the guests and personalizing their purchases, door prize drawings for a limited edition Rie Munoz print take place. In August 2006, guests on the cruise will not only vist Rie and take a tour of the Alaska Art Museum in Juneau but were also offered the opportunity to travel back on–board the ship with Rie and Juan for a private luncheon celebration.
Although the cruises Len and Pat organize through Carlson Wagonlit Travel Center, Inc. In Lacey, Washington are predominately “quilting cruises” with quilting classes available during the cruise, a large number of “non-quilters" register for their cruises as well to be able to attend the special events that are offered exclusively on their cuisses!

Munoz Off On Another Sketching Trip One of the fun parts of being an artist, I'm told, is the sketching trips one takes to gather the raw material for one's next painting. Munoz brings her sketchbook everywhere-remember "Public Shower on the Ferry" and "Steam Bath Aniak?" She brings her sketchbook on her travels and sketches people in airports, restaurants, and on the street.
Next week Munoz will head off to the Aleutian Islands to Dutch Harbor, the nation's second busiest fishing port. Rie and longtime friend Ruth Pederson will be staying on this remote island for a month. They will house-sit and enjoy the sights. Rie will sketch and paint and Ruth is thinking about getting a job! Juan Muñoz.

Both mother and child are healthy and we will be having a home birth just as we did with Mercedes. we will give you all more information on these important developments as they occur. Juan Munoz

ALASKA STATE MUSEUMS Rie Muñoz Art Featured at State Museum This Summer Rie Muñoz, one of Alaska’s most recognized artists, is widely celebrated for her warm and whimsical interpretations of everyday life across this vast state. This summer, the Alaska State Museum will host a retrospective look at her more than 50-year career. The exhibition, featuring original paintings, tapestries, and memorabilia, will open May 13 and run through September 23, 2006. An opening reception will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, as part of Juneau Museum Day. Admission is free. The artist will meet the public and sign books from 12 until 3 p.m. The Friends of the Alaska State Museum will provide refreshments between 1 and 3 p.m. Muñoz, a long-time Juneau resident who received a 2004 Governor’s Award for the Arts, has been drawing and painting scenes of everyday life in Alaska since the early 1950s. Her stylized and colorful work is easily recognized. She is best known for her watercolor paintings, but she has also produced lithographic, stencil and silkscreen prints as well as murals and stained glass works. Several books have documented her art and her illustrations enliven childrens’ books and many other publications nationwide. Muñoz’s prints adorn the walls of homes across the United States. Her work is carried by more than 150 galleries in the Pacific Northwest and Canada. In 1999 she received an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities degree from the University of Alaska. Originally from Southern California, Muñoz first came to Alaska in 1950 on a tour ship. While visiting Juneau, she decided to see if she could find a job. She did, and has lived in Alaska ever since. She married, and in 1951-52 was a teacher on King Island in the Bering Sea, a formative experience for her. She later raised a son and held a number of arts-related jobs before deciding to devote herself full time to her art in 1972. Muñoz’s experiences on King Island attracted her to the traditional culture of Alaska’s Native peoples, especially the Yup’ik Eskimos of Western Alaska. Her sketching trips to this area provided material for numerous paintings depicting every-day subsistence life. Muñoz has also sought to show the ordinary, everyday events that define life in Southeast Alaska, such as bathing in warm springs, riding ferries, fishing, picking berries, and walking dogs. She has an artist’s eye and a cartoonist’s wit that sees the defining details that enliven the characters of the people she depicts. “Many Alaskans have unwittingly been subjects and inspiration for my paintings,” Muñoz says. “For instance, if you were in Tenakee when the humpback whales were performing in front of town a few summers ago, it’s likely you’re in the painting ‘Whales in the Inlet’.” The artist maintains a second residence in the town of Tenakee, on Chichagof Island, accessible from Juneau only by small plane or ferry. The museum begins summer hours May 14. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily except holidays. General admission is $5. Visitors 18 and under are admitted free of charge. An annual pass that allows unlimited visits to the Alaska State Museum and the Sheldon Jackson Museum in Sitka is available for $15. Assistance is available for visitors with special needs. Please contact Visitor Services at 465-2901 before the visit. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Mark Daughhetee, 907-465-2901 www.museums.state.ak.us/press/munoz.htm

Where's Rie Well! We're glad you asked. She got through the holiday season in SE Alaska in fine shape. She has just left for a stay in sunny California where she'll be visiting with relatives and friends, and what else? painting of course, it's just that she'll probably be a little warmer down there but she may not be a lot dryer according to the weather channel. Whatever, we sure hope she really enjoys herself.
Rie Muñoz Art Classes Yes it's true. The ten kids of the Tenakee school have Rie Munoz 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. We all should be so lucky!
