CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTER
THE TRACY PIPER (b. Oakland, CA, 1987) is a contemporary painter, muralist, author, and art activist known for her bold, figurative acrylic paintings that challenge social constructs with vibrancy and emotion. Her work has been exhibited at SCOPE Miami Beach, SELECT Fair, and SCOPE New York, as well as internationally, and she is represented in California by Voss Gallery. A champion for inclusivity, Piper’s murals span both coasts, amplifying messages of empowerment and self-expression. She gained national recognition by winning GSNTV’s “Skin Wars: Fresh Paint” and has published multiple books, including Worthy and the SEEN series. Holding a BFA in Illustration from California College of the Arts, Piper continues to push boundaries in contemporary art, creating work that is both visually striking and socially impactful.
“I jumped headfirst into fine art with a mission to make art that matters. It’s a passion driven from my own experiences and hardships, and if I can provide a platform with a paintbrush then I am doing something right in this world. Every piece strives for connection, a place for community and dialog about the world around us.” —The Tracy Piper
