About Tracie Cheng
Tracie Cheng is a Taiwanese American artist that weaves lines and paint into dynamic visual dreamscapes. She very consciously observes the life around her—absorbing stories and experiences—and subconsciously watches them unfold onto the canvas. Resembling nature, fractals, patterns and forms, Tracie’s paintings are inspired by all the incredible and regular things around us. The lines undulate in and out of visibility and reality while the paint provides shelter and contrast, allowing the paintings to be playful, familiar, yet challenging to our imaginations. It prompts curiosity and assurance; an invitation into wonder and a hope for possibility in the intangible. Tracie's paintings are a reflection of life's textured complexities, giving voice to her ever-evolving relationship with faith, culture, ethnicity, and narrative.
Tracie attended the University of Texas in Austin and graduated with a degree in architecture. After several years of architectural work, her desire to shape environments shifted to the visual arts. Her artistic style channels aspects of Chinese brush painting, abstraction, with some architectural sensibilities sprinkled throughout, continually shaped by the beauty and intricacies of the different cultures and stories around her. Tracie has shown her work at galleries in Los Angeles, New York City, Vancouver, and Shanghai. One of her first major projects was a series of paintings for Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and her paintings are now in public and private collections all over the world. Tracie finds joy navigating this artist life alongside her kids and sculptor husband, Eóin Burke, in Connecticut. You can see more of her work at traciecheng.com or on instagram @traciecheng.
