Our tour guide
 |
Judith Kunzl was born in Switzerland and came to Rarotonga in 1986 on a United Nations project to illustrate schoolbooks. Judith Kunzl has been drawing all her life. Since 1996 she has been a fulltime artist specializing in figures, landscape and natural history.
She is well known for her work of Cook Islands dancers, which are all based on sketches. Judith has specialized in portraying the action; she explores the movement of dancers, life animals, or of breaking waves. Her illustrations of the local flora for the Cook Islands Natural Heritage Trust have been done from fresh plants and by studying their natural form in the field.
She is experienced in drawing and with all water-media: ink, water colour, acrylics, gouache - and she knows all the good spots to paint in the Cook Islands! Judith has been tour guiding in the Cook Islands for artists and natural history tours, and has also worked on expedition cruise ships in the South Pacific.
Atiu is Judith's favourite place for drawing and painting, and she would like to share the fun and challenges of investigating nature with pen and paper.
