Kate Elkins
Alexandria, VA
Drawing on a rural upbringing and a lifelong connection to the land, Kate Elkins creates charcoal drawings and mixed media works that investigate how personal history, environment, and tradition shape who we are. Her recent charcoal series examines the psychological weight of uniforms. Large-scale drawings depict family members and close friends in garments that reflect personal transformation; moments when the act of putting something on becomes a redefinition of self.
Kate earned a BFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design and an MA in Art Education from the Corcoran College of Art. She is Chair of the Visual Arts Department at St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia, where she teaches 2D visual arts and champions a curriculum that encourages voice, inquiry, and thoughtful risk-taking. Kate works out of a studio in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. Her life and art are deeply interwoven, centered around creativity, curiosity, and community.
