Kunkle was born in Lehighton, Pennsylvania in 1978, and has a BFA in painting from Kutztown University. He lives and works in New York City. N.B. The surfaces of these oil paintings are embellished with genuine gold and silver leaf. These precious metals are used as symbolic elements as well as visual instruments to interact with viewer's movements and environment. The leafed areas will shift with the intensity of light in a space, or as one simply walks across the room.
