Conditions for Water by Karen Kunc, 2012.
I have always been a fan of Nebraska print maker Karen Kunc. I first became acquainted with Kunc’s work while a curatorial intern at the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha. Her work is beautiful, composed of color and shape and her printing technique of woodcut layers is masterful. I was also honored to work with her parents Ray and Ila Kunc when I ran the Joslyn Museum Shop, their jewelry combined excellent lapidary work with refined design.
