Bunnie has always been inspired by the natural beauty of Colorado. Through images and memories from her childhood growing up in Denver she transforms them into a vibrant world seen through current eyes.
Bunnie Reiss spent the first 27 years of her life with the wide-blue sky and fluffy clouds of Colorado. Her work is heavily influenced by her Eastern European background and the images of nature that surrounded her growing up outdoors in the Rocky Mountains. She creates worlds full of conversations that look deeper into the investigation of self and community. The cosmos, nature, human connection, magic, private experiences, the past and the present, are all part of her visual catalog.
She is most known for her public art, creating murals and larger installation work which are often looked upon as a spell, an offering, or a place for people to gather. When not working in public, she has a strong studio practice where delicate paintings tell tales of deeper explorations into other dimensions, and the communities that exist within them.
