Artist Biography
Tracy Coon is a visual artist based in New Jersey. Her work spans several mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed media collage.
Ms. Coon has studied life drawing since she was a teen and remains passionate about drawing the human form. Disillusioned with formal art education, she left the Cleveland Institute of Art after completing two years of foundation. She continues her artistic studies independently and is an active member of the Asbury Park area art community.
She has exhibited her artwork at Port Exhibitions (Staten Island, N.Y.), A.J. Dillon Gallery (Atlantic Highlands, N.J.) Artworks Trenton (Trenton, N.J.) Alfa Art Gallery (New Brunswick, N.J.). Her work is in several private residences throughout the U.S.
Tracy's work often explores the relationship between order and chaos. Her approach relies on letting go of control and conventional styles of representation. This approach is united with her desire to truly see and experience her subject. Her line work is known for a flowing yet agitated energy, and her color palette has been called sensual and organic.
