About the Artist
Katie Inglis’s paintings explore the vastness and intimacy of the Chihuahuan Desert in Far West Texas.
Through simplified landscapes and hand-painted signage, she distills the interplay of light, land, and memory into essential forms: sky, earth, and shadow. Working with traditional materials and found surfaces—like fencing and signage—Inglis captures fleeting moments in motion, often returning her work to the environment it emerged from. Her practice bridges design and painting, shaped by daily travel across remote terrain and a deep desire to slow down, observe, and honor the overlooked beauty of the desert.
BIOGRAPHY
Born in Grand Junction Colorado (1986) and based in Marfa, Far West Texas, Katie Inglis is a painter and designer whose work explores the relationships of time and human presence in remote desert environments.
Katie recently came to painting after many years working in corporate design environments detached from the physical landscape, hands-on work, and tangible outputs. Upon spending time in the Chihuahuan Desert, Katie's interest in communicating the ideas, memories, and assumptions about remote landscapes became a full time practice in painting and sign making.
Katie’s background in product and information design, design research and wilderness adventure converge with her work on public parks and grassland restoration, resulting in visual reflections of the landscape and contemplations about human expectations of the environment.
