Katherine Clarke Langlands

A visual artist living and working between Vermont and Block Island, Langlands studied studio art and sociology 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 Vermont’s snowboarding culture, her art grew from this environment and remains shaped by the rhythms of this 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.
