Kate Kern Mundie

I am Kate Kern Mundie, a landscape painter focused on the interplay between nature and human impact. My work captures changing environments through vibrant landscapes with thick impasto oil paint on wood panels. Inspired by direct observation, I forge emotional connections to the places I depict. My process includes long walks and hikes for sketches and photos, painting outdoors to capture light and color, and refining details in the studio. My art reflects a deep awareness of climate change and its effects on the landscape. Whether painting en plein air or from my studios in Pennsylvania and Maine, I convey the enduring human bond to a place.
