Katie Darby Slater

I am currently living and working in Melbourne, FL. I received my MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design. I am creating paintings and collages of quotidian life. Pieces that assist an escape from the mundane by attending to its fine-spun aspects, color and light, memory and imagination. Prior to RISD, I received my BFA in Painting from Auburn University in 2011. After Auburn, I was the recipient of fellowships to attend artist in residence programs at the Art Students league of New York-Vytlacil Campus, Vermont Studio Center, and Pebble Hill Center for Arts and Humanities in Auburn, AL. My work has been exhibited at the Western Exhibitions in Chicago, IL, MX Gallery in New York, NY, Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York, NY, and the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, GA, among other places.
