Katherine Clarke Langlands

A visual and conceptual artist based between Block Island and Vermont in the United States, Langlands studied studio art, sociology and Buddhist philosophy at the University of Vermont before completing her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is currently a regional studio resident at the Vermont Studio Center. With deep roots in the Scottish long lands and Vermont’s snowboarding culture, her art grew from these environments and remains shaped by their rhythms that surround her.

Langlands’ earth-inspired practice moves fluidly between painting, sculpture, installation, and activations. Each work is part of a continuous exploration of color, form, and space. Her exhibitions investigate themes of perception, nature, and the intersections of the physical and conceptual realms—revealing poetics shaped by both landscape and lived experiences.
