Katelyn Lipton (she/they) is a Korean American artist raised in the Hudson Valley, now based in the Boston Area. Katelyn works in a variety of mediums both analog and digital from woodcut printmaking, acrylics, and clay to Procreate and Adobe Suite. She likes to create her personal art as a form of self expression and manifestation, while her commissioned work is used as a form of communication to help inform and bring people together. She is passionate about working with grassroots organizations that connect AANHPI communities and fight for environmental justice and food sovereignty. Katelyn is infinitely inspired by the natural world, especially birds and farming, and spends most of her free time in the woods.

Katelyn is an alum of the University of Vermont where she received a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Studio Art in 2021. Her education focused on intersectional environmentalism, sustainable food systems, and the intersection between art and the environment. Her senior thesis, Transcending Boundaries, was a comparison of the effects of climate change on human and bird migration. This project was comprised of a research paper and series of multimedia woodcut prints.
