ABOUT

Tracy Welling is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Arizona. She received her MFA from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2021. Her art explores cultural constructs, linguistic connotations and relationships in order to question the stories we tell ourselves when personal and societal expectations go unmet. Myth and material create a visual dialogue in the work that discuss subjects that may not otherwise be articulated. Though sometimes ambiguous, the viewer is invited to participate and interpret according to their experience.

​

Currently, Tracy is teaching ceramics at Glendale Community College. She has shown internationally and nationally in the exhibitions;Craft Nouveau at the Blue Line Arts Center in Roseville California, in A Stitch to Wear at the Allegany Arts Center in Allegany, Maryland. Tracy was also awarded the Best in Fine Craft Award at the Edwardsville Art Center’s Art Fair in Illinois in 2019 and 3rd place in Materials Soft and Hard at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center in Denton, Texas in 2022.
