WRIGHT |
 Tricia Wright: b. 1962 TRICIA WRIGHT was born and raised in England, and moved from London to New York in 1999. She divides her time between two homes and two studios, in Brooklyn, NY and in upstate NY. Tricia’s work explores aspects of the Home and the domestic environment; she approaches her subject both from a feminist position and also from a broader, gender-neutral base, that explores our complex relationship to this enclosed world. Her work is in public, corporate, and private collections in the UK and US, including The Hove Museum of Art (UK), White & Case LLP, Alliance Bernstein, and the American Embassy. Tricia’s paintings have been featured in Modern Painters Magazine, Art News Magazine, and the New York Observer. Awards include the Royal Overseas League International Travel Scholarship, the NYFA MARK program, and a residency with scholarship from the Vermont Studio Center. She was educated in England where she received her BA (Fine Art (Hons)) at Camberwell School of Art, London, and her PG Dip. (History & Theory of Modern Art) at Chelsea School of Art, London. Tricia is also a published art writer. Her books include American Art & Artists (Harper Collins, 2007) published in association with the Smithsonian Institute. She is also contributing author, editor, and consultant to numerous publications including: The Story of Painting (Dorling Kindersley Ltd. 1995) published in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. Other publications include Eyewitness Art; Edouard Manet and Eyewitness Art; Francisco Goya (Dorling Kindersley Ltd. 1993) published in association with the National Gallery, London. EDUCATION
