Tracy Concha paints 21st century subjects in a style similar
to the classic style of Goya, Velasquez, and Rembrandt.
Using defined brushstrokes, she explores the contrast
between light and shadow; form and formlessness; and the
very fine line between abstraction and realism. She has
painted many people and places—from Mount Kilimanjaro
and the Masai in Kenya, to the wild storms of
Newfoundland and New England, the Pueblo peoples of
New Mexico and streets and neighbors of Savannah,
Georgia—where she currently resides.
Tracy Concha began studying the art of painting, privately,
with her friends David Leffel and Sherrie McGraw. After
finishing a long career in textile restoration, where she
specialized in early classic weavings of the Southwest, she
has chosen to focus all her energy on the development of
her painting skills. In addition to many awards and one-
man shows, her work is exhibited in group shows and
galleries throughout the United States.
