Katherine Langhorne Adams
Lyme Art Colony
American, (1885–1977) In Lyme: 1912-1913
Katherine Langhorne exhibited only twice, in 1912 and 1913, and little is known about her association with the colony, except that she coped readily with a male artist who mistakenly entered her bedroom in the Griswold House one night, having been misdirected by forgetful Miss Florence. She studied at the Art Students League under John Henry Twachtman and Frank Vincent DuMond and was also enrolled in summer courses, possibly either in Cos Cob or Old Lyme. She exhibited at the National Academy of Design as early as 1912, and in 1915, two of her works were included in the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco. Although it is not known whether she studied in Paris, she traveled throughout Europe as well as in Japan, and much later, in the 1930s, she lived for a while in Buenos Aires.
In 1916 she married Benjamin Pettengill Adams, moved to New York, and thereafter exhibited under her married name. In 1917, she again visited old Lyme, staying at Boxwood. Three exhibitions of her work were held during the 1920s at the Milch, Babcock, and Montross Galleries in New York. Her work was also represented in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, where she won the Marcia Tucker Prize in 1935 and an honorable mention the following year.
With her husband, she had moved in the 1920s to Sneden's Landing, Palisades, New York, where she designed the stone house they had built there. Her plans won first prize in a contest sponsored by "House Beautiful" magazine for "the best small house East of the Mississippi." Later, she lived in Fairfield, Connecticut, and Alexandria, Virginia.
