Kate Wildman is a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist whose work is informed by the dreamworld, natural world, cosmos, astrology, and the absurd. Her practice is rooted in a deep fascination and reverence for the physical world while imagining realms beyond it. Her work centers on conjuring otherworldly beings from hidden dimensions, re-envisioning dreams, speaking with flowers, and carving stones. Her process is deeply material, experimental, and curiosity driven and often includes sculpture, drawing, printmaking and fibers.
She received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2019 and has exhibited works at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Wilson Museum at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, Fountain Street Gallery, Beacon Gallery, Piano Craft Gallery and Gallery 263. She has attended residencies at Vermont Studio Center and Pilotenkueche. She is currently a Visiting Lecturer at Massachusetts College of Art & Design in Studio Foundations.
