In her spacious Studio in Rarotonga, Judith develops
her
ideas about how
to show movement and body language.
She paints on paper rather than canvas,
because she works
spontaneously, doing many studies, much like a dancer,
who develops a movement by coordinating and refining it
many times over.
Judith Kunzlé is represented by:
