Kunz participated as an artist-in-residence in the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, Brooklyn, The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, among others. Kunz has been honored with nominations from 3Arts Foundation, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Richard H.

The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Jessica Jacobs reading.
