January 2020
Microscopic - Tracy Biedeger
Tracey Biedeger. Spending time as a child in India and in Europe, without television or many American friends, Tracy’s early days were spent filling the time through drawing. She followed her mother’s lead as a painter and moved from drawing to painting and later to working in pastels. She began her formal training in environmental design which involved many hours in design labs. Tracy returned to her creative pursuits after starting her family. She began to paint, again. Initially, her paintings were created for her church fundraising and retreat programs. As demands for her paintings grew, Tracy‘s involvement in her community group, her art was donated to even more organizations. Now with her own studio, Tracy paints daily. Her travels as a child have given her global inspiration and deep appreciation for other cultures. Her awareness of other cultures and their histories have led her to experiment with different painting techniques. Influenced heavily by her time living in India and her love for Aboriginal art, her work brings together bold colors and different perspectives.

Curator’s Statement:
We all view objects as shapes. These shapes in return are reconstructed as images. Something we recognize is pivotal to the understanding of their meaning. These artists view their particular images that have been rebuilt into a model of their own imagination. To view these pieces is to create your own personalized construction of that altered reality.
