Long Description
Ms. Kunzler grew up in southern
Iowa, graduating in 1976 as an art major from Graceland University in
Lamoni, Iowa. She has experience teaching in public schools and community
colleges in Iowa and Missouri. Ms. Kunzler is a founding member of the
Pastel Society of Iowa and teaches pastel workshops throughout the state.
Diane Blair Kunzler was an Artist-in-Residence at Herbert Hoover National
Historic Site in 2007. Her pastel of the Herbert Hoover Birthplace Cottage
is displayed at the Visitor center with other works from past Artists-in-Residence. “Growing up in the rural Midwest,” said Mrs. Kunzler,
“it is all but impossible not to have a connection with the land.” The
paintings and pastels in the new exhibit are inspired by landscapes and
natural features of the Midwest, including two paintings of the creek that trickles by the two-room cottage of Hoover’s birth.
