Katie Dunbar received her MFA in Visual Studies from the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and BA in Fine Arts from the University of California Santa Cruz. During her creative career-path, she discovered backpacking, and a deep love for hiking. She has completed the Pacific Crest Trail, Montana and New Mexico along the Continental Divide, The Wonderland Trail (twice), the Timberline Trail, Wildwood Trail, and hundreds of additional miles on trail. During these physical and mentally-strenuous journeys, Dunbar's practice becomes about sharing these experiences. By confronting and dissect conceptual narratives triggered from her surroundings, she has centered her creativity around the natural environment, sustainability, conservation, and the wild community outdoors.
