ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rebecca Lee Kunz is the artist and owner of Tree of Life Studio in Santa Fe, New

Mexico, working at the intersection of environmental justice and cultural awareness.

Rebecca is a painter, printmaker, and illustrator, and the 2025 Randolf Caldecott

medalist. A citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Rebecca’s work draws upon

tribal iconography and archetypal symbolism. She infuses mythology into her work

where she is in conversation with each tale as a living and emergent story. A visual

storyteller and folklorist, she hopes to illuminate awareness about our shifting climate

and to inspire solutions to the issues of today. Through her picture book illustrations,

her goal is to inspire children so that they may see themselves in the visual stories she

tells.
