T.
Young, (Tracy, born 1958, St. Paul, MN) grew up in Cottage Grove Minnesota, a
suburb south of Minnesota’s capital city, St. Paul. Art, photography and music
have always been a significant part of her life and career development. During her formative years
Tracy's focus was on painting but as time passed her love for the business
aspect of art became a focal point. Tracy developed a program centered on the
business of art and in the mid to late 1990's she held lectures and classes
teaching other creative people how to pursue their artistic passion as a
professional artist. In 2004, she decided to step back from teaching business classes to again focus on painting. It was at this time she
made a change of painting style from folk art to the abstract form where she would begin the journey to firmly develop her artistic voice as an abstract
artist. Working mainly in acrylic paints and oil pastel, she blends color
and adds line and shape creating a story line of movement on canvas, wood or paper. Much of
her artistic inspiration was formed by many of the artists of the American
Abstract Expressionism period of the mid-20
th century. Tracy currently works from her combined studio and gallery space at the Northrup King Building, which is located in the vibrant northeast Minneapolis arts district.
