She has been in the world of art and education for her entire career. Writer Joan McKinney gathered many of her awards and accomplishments in an article for the CU alumni magazine that include the following:


In addition to teaching art, Cundiff was an arts consultant for Collaborative for Teaching and Learning, Different Ways of Knowing Program in Kentucky founded by Galef Institute, Los Angeles, Calif., providing teacher in-service training workshops in various locations such across Kentucky from 1994 to 2004.

She had a pastel and watercolor mixed media piece purchased by the Kentucky State Fair for the 50th year that a purchase award for the art exhibit was done. Her piece was of tobacco leaves, and it hangs in one of the administrative offices at the state fair grounds.

She also had a pastel piece in the Kentucky Governor's Mansion for the Invitational Kentucky Vision Exhibit.

She was a visual arts instructor for the Institute for Arts in Education sponsored by the Kentucky Center for Arts, University of Louisville and the Kentucky Department of Education from 1989 through 1999.

She is a former member of the Visual Arts Task Force Committee for the Kentucky Department of Education. She belongs to the College Art Association, the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen and National Art Education Association.

Cundiff has served as a juror for Lincoln Days Art Exhibits, Kentucky State Fair Arts and Crafts Exhibition and for the Kentucky Watercolor Society Show "Totally Transparent" at Lindsey Wilson College. She was invited to participate in the Invitational Juried Alumni Exhibition at Murray State University in 1997 and exhibited a lithograph at the Invitational Alumni Juried Exhibit at Dairy Barn in Athens, Ohio, in 1998 in conjunction with the 200th anniversary of lithography by the Southern Graphics Council Conference meeting at Ohio University.

Cumberland College purchased one of two pieces submitted by Cundiff for the Invitational Exhibit of monotypes by faculty of the Appalachian College Association at Cumberland College in 1998.

She exhibited a pastel at the Invitational Juried Exhibit "A Kentucky Visions: 1998," sponsored by the Kentucky Arts Council, both at the governor's mansion and the Kentucky Center for Rural Development in Somerset, Ky.

Cundiff's work, along with the work of 20 other visual artists, was juried for acceptance into a pilot program to exhibit and market visual art in "Kentucky Crafted: The Market, 1999" in Louisville.

As a member of the state-wide Visual Arts Task Force, she participated with five other art teachers and Dr. Patricia Hartanowicz with the Professional Standards Board in taping a live KET one-hour program.

She was selected as one of six artists from the Institute for Arts for planning, writing and appearing in four 90-minute 1998-99 Professional Development Programs for KET.

She has won numerous awards from the Kentucky State Fair and has exhibited at the Council on Post-Secondary Education Building in Frankfort, Ky., from 2008 until 2011 and the U.S. Bank Exhibit at the Kentucky Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., in 2011.
