Laurie Rayner Langford is an assemblage and collage artist and a writer based in Chatham, Ontario.

​

Her visual work has appeared in solo and group exhibitions across Canada and the United States for nearly two decades, and is held in private collections throughout North America. Working with shadow boxes, found objects, printmaking, and collage, she takes on gender, domesticity, sexuality, and history with a subversive humour that critic Phil Vanderwall described as "pop culture innocence gone horribly wrong."

​

Her writing turns to the same territory: the domestic, the historical, and the uncomfortable truths under a tidy surface. She grew up on Prince Edward Island, and her Island stories have appeared regularly in RED: The Island Storybook since 2020. She has written exhibition essays for galleries in southwestern Ontario since 2011. Her first novel, set during the Island's silver fox boom, is complete.

She holds an MA in Island Studies from the University of Prince Edward Island, where her thesis focused on her great-grandfather, one of the founders of the Island's silver fox industry, and a BA in English Literature and Art History from the University of Toronto. In 2024 she co-presented a collaborative work at the closing of the First Islands Water Congress in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, and presented it again at the Turning the Tide conference on Prince Edward Island in 2025.

A founding member of ARTspace in Chatham, she is Chair of the Chatham-Kent Arts Council.
