Abby Sunde is a visual artist who was born and raised in the ceded territory of North Central Wisconsin. Sunde graduated in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Environment Sciences from the University of Minnesota - Morris. In recent years, she fully shifted her focus towards art and has since graduated from Normandale Community College with an Associate of Fine Art in 2022, graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison with a BFA in Studio Art in 2024. And is currently pursuing a Masters of Fine Art in Glass as a Presidential Fellow at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island.

Sunde is a multi-disciplinary artist who primarily works in 2D media and glass. Her work stems from exploring the nuisances of identity and our relationships with nature, while often grappling to understand the impacts of existing in a post-colonial state. Sunde is a direct descendant of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe and is also of Scandinavian/European-American descent. Sunde has been selected for group exhibitions across the country, including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Florida, and Massachusetts. Her work has also been a part of the Northern Spark art festival in St. Paul, Minnesota and the First International Festival of Manuports at Kohta in Helsinki, Finland.
