Sage Tucker-Ketcham's Projects

BFA Alumni

Major: Painting

Graduation Year: 2003

Artist Statement:

Each painting tells a personal narrative, they are a timeline and a reference to relationships. My practice and commitment to making these paintings is my escape from connectivity. My current interest in early 20th century American paintings, contemporary abstract artists and 19th century French paintings inform my pallet and compositions. There are so many possibilities within landscape painting. My new work represents what is happening now and what I want my life to be with the hope that they are provocative, digestible, accessible and pleasant.
