Tobiah Mundt is a sculptural fiber artist from Houston, Texas that studied architecture at Howard University  in Washington, DC.  She made the move from the practice of architecture to her art practice in 2004 and currently resides in Charlottesville, VA. She is a founding member of the Charlottesville Black Arts Collective and is a Resident Artist at McGuffey Art Center. Tobiah uses the slow, meditative processes of needle felting, wet felting, and rug tufting to sculpt figurative pieces that tell stories with wool. A New City Arts Initiative Fellow and former Artist Residence at The Bridge PAI and The Welcome Gallery in Charlottesville, VA, her work has been exhibited in Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and DC and is in private and corporate collections locally and nationally.
