CHINA - an illustrated travel log

Judith Kunzlé sketches dancers and troupes at rehearsals and performances to study the body language of various dance forms.

In Rarotonga, Cook Islands, dance is a very important part of the local Polynesian culture. With pastels and acrylics, she brings the dynamic and graceful Cook Islands Dance alive on paper.

Here is the inside story from the dancer’s point of view, by Judith's dance mentor in Rarotonga Jackie Tuara-Newnham.

Judith is drawing in contemporary dance studios in Europe, the USA and New Zealand, to extend the study of body language and dance movements.

To find out about the different dance forms in the South Pacific, Judith has been to Tahiti, the Marquesas, Easter Island, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, and PNG.
In Hawai'i, she sketched Hula dancers.

Judith's series of seashells are gicleé prints of ink drawings, and can be combined in many different combinations.

She writes art articles which are published in the Cook Islands News. The newest one is about Decorative or deep and meaningful?

The Sketchbook features Judith Kunzlé's drawings of her recent trip to China.

Judith Kunzlé's paints Land- and seascapes in watercolor in Rarotonga and on other islands she visits.

The Limited Edition Prints feature Cook Islands Themes and Dance, Hula, Tongan, Fijian, Easter Islands dancers and Pacific Still lives. Each print is hand-signed and numbered. All the prints are high-quality gicleés or offset prints with light-fast inks on acid-free paper.

Meet the artist - Judith was born in Switzerland and lives since 1986 in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in the South Pacific.

Painting Expeditions to Atiu and Aituaki are an ideal opportunity for artiststo combine drawing and painting with learning about Polynesian culture and natural heritage.
