Anita Kunz: Original Sisters

Canadian illustrator Anita Kunz’s “Original Sisters” portraits celebrate extraordinary women from ancient times to today who have demonstrated courage and determination, often against steep odds. The “Original Sisters”she has chosen to paint are women Kunz believes “should be known.” Some of the women she features in her portrait series are household names while others are underrecognized or even forgotten for their achievements.

Who is your “Original Sister?”
