About the Item

Tracy Stuckey received his BFA in painting from Florida State University and his MFA from the University of New Mexico. He has exhibited his work extensively throughout the United States, with numerous solo and group exhibitions, including shows curated by gallery owner Linda Durham and artist Joel Peter Witkin. He has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards, most recently the Professional Development Grant from the West Virginia Division of Culture and History. In 2009 he was an artist-in-residence at the Center for Land Use Interpretation in Wendover, Utah. Also a professor, Stuckey has taught at West Virginia University, and most recently, Colorado State University. Tracy and his wife, artist Erika Osborne, live in Fort Collins, Colorado. STATEMENT In August of 2019, artist Tracey Stuckey and his family moved to Baja California Sur, Mexico for what was supposed to be a year. The artist's wife was on sabbatical doing a research project in the Sierra de la Laguna, their two children were enrolled in the local schools, and Stuckey was left to soak up the experience and work in their makeshift outdoor studio. Rather than trying to force his preconceptions about the region into the work, the artist decided to take in as much of the experience as he could, to observe, and to explore. Tracy Stuckey's time in Mexico was cut short due to COVID-19. Stuckey and his family were asked by the State Department to return home at the start of the pandemic; however, he continued to work on these new paintings after returning to his home in Colorado. The paintings and drawings in this exhibition contain snippets of memories and ideas of kitsch and cliché - reflecting his experience. Although he did his best to speak the language, make friends with locals, enjoy all the foods, and see all that he could, Stuckey still felt like an outsider trying to understand the amazing experience.
