Tracey Kessler - Room 210

Tracey M. Kessler, b. in Huntington, New York, obtained her BFA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. She then pursued painting conservation and restoration at the Instituto de Conservacion y Restauracion de Bienes Culturales in Madrid, Spain. Tracey began her architecture and interior design career in New York City and has spent 25 years working on commercial, residential, and retail projects on both coasts. In San Francisco, she established her interior design company, TKID.

Feeling the need for a second career, she became a full-time artist and educator in 2010. Tracey's art exudes the serenity she experiences daily with acquaintances, friends, and family. Despite being influenced by the tumultuous times of our modern era, her art has a calming, organic feel that echoes her California lifestyle. Her artistry uses a diverse range of media, including oils, acrylics, inks, charcoal, gesso, ceramics, fiber and natural pigments, giving her artworks a unique voice.
