“It is through painting that I explore both my own nature and the natural world that surrounds me. The intrinsic wholeness embedded in my relationship to nature, which I both embody, and am embodied by, become apparent as I follow color, forms, and images that emerge and guide. It is an intuitive process that combines elements sourced from seeing, memory, and reverie. It is a process of getting lost and finding my way. Trusting that I will find my way as themes come in and out of focus. This often leads to something new being revealed and to a deeper personal understanding of the world around me, my sense of place, my own resilience and fragility. My thoughts are of time, memory, dream space, the body, nature, and environment.”

Prior to Tracy Phillips’s moving her studio and home in 2015 to the Catskills, to Saugerties, NY, the artist spent almost 40 years in Brooklyn where she developed her painting practice. She studied Fine Art at Parsons School of Design, where she graduated with a BFA in 1983. Her work has shown in a number of solo and group exhibitions locally, nationally and internationally,in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Saugerties, Nyack, Jersey City, and abroad in France and Italy. In 2023 her work was exhibited in Venice, Italy. Phillips has received many awards and her work has been juried by curators from the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim and the Brooklyn Museum.

Susan Roth worked with Larry Poons, Knox Martin, Ronnie Lansfield and Mary Beth McKenzie at the Arts Students League. Since 2004 the artist has shown in New York City and regularly in galleries near her upstate home, in Rhinebeck, Pines Plains, Millerton, Ancram, New York and in Lakeville, Connecticut.

“Growing up in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I had the fortunate opportunity to be selected from city wide student high school populations to participate in art classes funded by the Carnegie Mellon Art Museum, which triggered my interest in art and painting. After moving to New York I studied at the Arts Students League. At present I divide my time between a studio in New York City and one in the gentle rolling hills of the Hudson Valley. Both provide diverse physical surrounds to explore my joyful feelings about color and space. In recent years I have devoted myself full time to oil painting. My paintings usually originate from a landscape, still life or city scene. I then exaggerate the mental image into a bold composition with strong colors to express my mood about the view. I attempt to push the image to abstraction with a positive and happy feeling. My emphasis is always strong composition and strong colors. While inspired by the outside world, my expression comes from my inner feelings. Color is my vocabulary.“
