Katie Lane (b. 1994, Bethesda MD) is a New England-based painter whose work explores concepts of ephemerality in urban and rural landscapes, the inevitable entwinement of both due to time, and the contrast created in the process. Her work invites viewers into conversations about time, history, and the environments we steward.

Through a hybrid process that blends traditional analog techniques (painting, printmaking, and collaging) with contemporary post-analog approaches (including digital manipulation and archival printing), Lane’s work explores the duality of inhabiting a landscape shaped by aspiration and its inevitable breakdown - using the environment (both natural and manmade) as a jumping-off point to examine perception and memory. She is best known for her colorful, vibrant, and highly contrasting mixed-media paintings.

In 2016, Lane graduated with her BFA from the New England School of Art and Design at Suffolk University. Since then, she has exhibited her work from the East to the West Coast and has been shortlisted for the Walter Feldman Fellowship. Additionally, her work has been featured in publications and interviews such as Friends of the Artist, YngSpc Gallery, Boston Voyager, and Studio Visit Magazine. She has also worked with private collectors and institutions through commissioned work, most notably with Harvard Business School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

She currently works out of her studio in Southern New Hampshire.
