Emma Kunz was an amazing artist and healer who enjoyed drawing with ink and colored pencils. Emma Kunz was born in Brittnau, Switzerland in the year 1892. Kunz was a healer and artist. Her family was quite artistic with a background in weaving. Kunz worked with geometric shapes in an abstract style.

In the clip below we view some works by Kunz. A bio by the artist is first and works are shown beginning at 3:20 into the clip:

Many of her works were finished in one sitting. One sitting could last as long as 24 hours. The artist created her works not for display at a modern art museum, but for her patients who might need aid in meditation.

Emma Kunz passed away in 1963.

The shapes and color used by Kunz are remarkable. Her work reminds me of my childhood time I spent playing with the spirograph.

Price range information: Most works priced between $5,000 and $30,000.
