Kathleen Dunphy's rapid success in the competitive art world was
predicted when American Artist Magazine recognized her as one of the
Top Ten Emerging Artists in 1998, just 2 years after she had closed her
floral design business to devote herself full time to painting. She is
one of those rare people who have true passion, dedication, and a gift
for transposing nature's beauty to canvas.
In 2000, Kathleen was awarded a full scholarship at the renown Academy
of Art University in San Francisco. She maintains strong ties to the
Academy, where she has been offered a faculty appointment and
participates in the annual Alumni Auction.
In 2003, Kathleen designed and built her own studio in the Sierra
Nevada foothills of Northern California, where the pristine setting of
her home provides endless inspiration for her work. Kathleen's
landscape paintings can now be found in galleries from coast to coast.
Her honors are considerable and include important juried shows in
California, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and Maine; Best of Show from the
American Impressionist Society; an Award of Excellence from the Oil

issues in 2009 and 2013; the Federal Duck Stamp Competition; Birds in
Art; Arts for the Parks; Grand Prize at the Acadia Invitational
Exhibition in Bar Harbor, Maine; and many others. In 2014, Kathleen's
painting "The Flotilla" was purchased by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art
Museum for inclusion in their permanent collection.
Kathleen has attained signature status with the Society of Animal
Artists, the California Art Club, Oil Painters of America, the American
Impressionist Society, Laguna Plein Air Painters, the American Society
of Marine Artists and Artists for Conservation. In 2013, she was
elected to join the prestigious Plein Air Painters of America as one of
only 35 Signature Members. In a short period of time, she has earned an
impressive and growing reputation with galleries, private collectors,
and art magazines across the United States.
