Shadows of the Eclipse Print

Southern artist born and raised in Nashville. Completed large scale works throughout my early artistic experience depicting figurative scenes from growing up in the south. Langford has painted since childhood using creative expression as a means of communication. Raised in the design world, Langford is the the daughter of one of Nashville's first Interior Designers. Her early years were spent surrounded by luxurious fabric designs and wallpaper books. In high-school she began painting large scale oil canvases in the hallways utilizing figurative expressive themes under the direction of Rosemary Paschall from South Africa. After pre-college portfolio preparation at RISD, Langford decided to remain in the south and studied art at the University of Georgia in Athens. During studies abroad in Cortona, she was greatly inspired by the spiritual nature of Italian culture and the imagery painted in the Sistine Chapel and throughout the beautiful architecture in Europe. Langford moved to Switzerland to pursue art + theology after receiving her BFA in Painting and studied at L'Abri International. She traveled extensively throughout European museums from Zurich, Stockholm, Vienna to Oslo. Two artist residencies in Northern California gave her the momentum and time to focus on creating a series of wonderful tapestries that were displayed from the local old growth trees. Her exhibitions continue in a variety of settings from the East to West Coast. Her artwork has become a part of collections across the globe. She has led children’s workshops at Cheekwood Art Center, Aspen Art Museum and served as Children’s Program Director at The Anderson Ranch Art Center. She currently travels to explore, gather inspiration & spends her time creating new art in Aspen, the Pacific Northwest & Nashville.
