​​​I spent my childhood in Indiana running around in the woods before I moved to California to study Biology at Stanford University. After college I taught high school Physics and German in the San Francisco Bay Area. During this time I explored the California and Utah deserts, packing a Rolliecord medium-format camera and black and white film.
In my late 20's I entered UC San Francisco Medical School. After medical school I spent a year doing basic science vision research at the Koret Vision Center at UCSF, then went on to do my surgical residency in Ophthalmology at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle.
​
My surgical career has been devoted mostly to cataract surgery. I write and manage a free patient education website www.cataractsurgerydesign.com. The site benefits tens of thousands of patients each year who are considering cataract surgery.
​
I am no longer seeing patients. I now focus on art and writing. As an artist, I focus on life drawing, collage, painting and sculpture. Please join me on Instagram or send me a note at christopherkuntzart@gmail.com if you would like to know more.

Scott Brown: Cartoonist (Turas Publishing, 2023)
​
​
Scott Brown was an Ohio cartoonist who made a great chocolate soda.
He was also my grandfather.
Scott Brown was a depression era American artist and cartoonist. For decades, he published prolifically in the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, the New Yorker, and other magazines while serving up chocolate sodas to generations of locals at Brown's Soda shop in Mansfield Ohio.
This richly colored book, the product of three years of research, tells the story of my grandfather's life using over 130 brilliant images from museums, magazines, newspapers, and private collections. It includes my personal observations of him and the soda shop.
