Carrie-Ann Bracco

(Note: Small paintings and works on paper are available here on Art-in-Res, whereas most larger works and digital reproductions are available via my personal website.) My artwork has mostly focused on my travels in remote and endangered landscapes. Some locations include the Amazon jungle of Southern Peru, a sailing expedition off the coast of Svalbard (Norway), and alpine environments from Patagonia to the Andes. The paintings from these experiences attempt to convey the ethereal quality of these mythic and fragile landscapes. They also contemplate our explorations into the unknown and our tenuous co-existence with the natural environment. Other work is based on scenes closer to home such as the reflective tide pools at Davis Park in Fire Island and the shimmering effect of snow in Park Slope Brooklyn. I received my B.A. from Columbia University and MFA from the New York Academy of Art. My work has been included in exhibits in NYC. I am a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant recipient. In 2014, my artwork was included in The Figure, edited by Margaret McCann and published by Skira/Rizzoli Press.
