Kate Clark was born and raised on Fidalgo Island in the San Juans of Washington State. Here, she learned the benefits of pulling ones’ own crab pots, how artists produce their work independently of an institutional setting, and how to wake up when it is still dark to climb glaciers.
She received her formal training at the Evergreen State College, the Pont Aven School of Contemporary Art, and the Ox-Bow School of Art in interdisciplinary studio art, art history, and cultural studies. Kate has lived and worked as an artist in Turkey, the Czech republic, England, France, and Japan. She currently works in Washington D.C.
She likes to make work about and with people.
