Biography
Katherine Duclos (b. 1980, Massachusetts) received her MFA in Painting and Drawing from Pratt Institute in 2012 in Brooklyn, NY. She moved from New York City to Vancouver, BC in late 2017 with her family, where she maintains an active multi-media studio practice delving into concepts of motherhood, identity, neurodivergence, materiality, and more. Her work is a reflection of her engagement with her family, environment and her experience as a gifted and disabled neurodivergent woman and mother.
In 2023 Duclos collaborated with The Lego Group to create artwork for their Miami Art Basel pop up, Center for Creative Flow, at the W Hotel. In just six weeks she made over forty-five square ft of abstract color constructions mounted on wooden panel for the weekend event, that will go on to live at the LEGO group headquarters in Massachusetts.. They also produced a documentary, Small Tiny Starts, about Katherine, the collaboration, her Lego process, and her family, which debuted in 2024 on their YouTube channel.

In addition to large scale projects like this, Katherine regularly exhibits her work across the US and Canada and her work can often be found in several galleries, and locally at the Vancouver Art Gallery Rental and Sales. She has worked as a teaching artist for organizations such as Studio in a School in New York City and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She welcomes studio visits, commissioned projects, and collaborations.
