Katie Flack is a plein air oil painter living in Washington, DC. She travels extensively throughout the United States, as well as internationally, to capture an array of landscapes.
Katie’s work evokes feelings of nostalgia. Painted en plein air, she strives to capture the fleeting moments of the landscape. Her colorful palette and richly painted scenes invite the viewer to experience the moment.
A worldwide traveler, she keeps her paints nearby to capture sights that enchant her. While she values painting in the studio, she enjoys the time she spends outside painting. Connecting with the scene’s sights, sounds and smells, have an impact on her paintings. Her en plein air paintings have the unique ability to bring her right back into the moment.
Katie has studied fine art at Clemson University and The Art League in Alexandria, Virginia. She was introduced to plein air painting at a workshop in New York City shortly after graduating and has loved it ever since. She has participated in various workshops and plein air events around the world and is always striving to learn more about the landscape.
Katie exhibits regularly at juried gallery shows at The Art League of Alexandria. Has participated in juried competitions such as the Carmel Art Festival in Carmel, California and other plein air shows and exhibitions in the DC metropolitan area. While participating in plein air events and gallery shows she has received numerous awards including Best New Plein Air Artist at Plein Air Roanoke, Second Place for Paint Annapolis Public Artists and Best in Show at The Art League to name a few.
Katie is represented by The Byrne Gallery in Middleburg, Virginia where she was recently featured in a two person show. She is looking forward to her second show this September 2025 at The Byrne Gallery. She is active in the DC area art community and is a member of various local and national groups including the NPAA, AIS, AWA, and Montgomery Art Association.
