About Featured Artist: Katie Dobson Cundiff

Katie acquired an early appreciation for the fine arts, drawing, and painting, under the direction of her artist parents, her father a successful illustrator, and mother a display artist and sculptor. From the time she could hold a pencil, she was drawing on the floor of her father’s studio, and realized her destiny as an artist at an early age. Cundiff received a B.A. in Fine Arts and Painting from Ringling College of Art and Design in 1971. A love of the outdoors and a passion for painting has resulted in numerous awards and recognition in plein air events and festivals across the country. Although primarily a landscape painter, her work also includes still life, figurative and wildlife, and has been featured on apparel and in print for many national and international conservation and wildlife organizations.
