Kate Kern Mundie was born 5 April 1974 in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Kate spent her childhood in the Midwest and New England. In 1992, Mundie moved from Boston to
Philadelphia in order to attend the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where she studied
printmaking and painting. Ms. Mundie graduated from PAFA in 1996, and three years later received
her B.F.A. magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania.
Kate Kern Mundie taught first grade for several years at Friends Select School, as well as teaching painting, drawing and printmaking classes at the Samuel S. Fleisher Art Memorial — where she also served as development assistant. During that time Kate also served several artist residencies in public schools and senior centers in Philadelphia. However, teaching work alone didn't quite pay the bills or allow enough time for painting, so Kate accepted a position at Urban Engineers, Inc., where she works as administrative assistant for the highways department and creates graphics for engineering projects.
Kate lives with her husband and fellow artist, James Mundie, and their sons Declan and Aidan in Philadelphia.
Kate Kern Mundie is presently represented by F.A.N. Gallery.
