Nature Art

KATHLEEN E. DUNN
Exploring the maple woods of New Hampshire instilled a lasting passion for nature in Kathleen (Kady), and in 1974, while earning a degree in fine art she decided to focus exclusively on wildlife. Early works in pastel, pencil, ink and scratchboard feature a vignette style with little or no habitat.

In 1987, inspired by “complete environment” or “slice of life” artists, Kady switched to oil paints to achieve greater detail while retaining the pastel-softness she loves. Her self-taught method has earned her a Best-of-show at the Pacific Rim Wildlife Art Show in 1988, selection to the Robert Bateman Master Class in 1991 and the Leigh Yawkey-Woodson “Birds in Art” Show in 1993, 1995, 2003 and 2005. Her painting “October 31st” was selected for the Museum’s permanent collection.

Kady lives in Edgewood, Washington, where the terrain, weather and dramatic seasonal changes continue to inspire her work. She has been a member of the Society of Animal Artists since 1996.
