Tracy Casagrande Clancy is an American artist whose work is distinctive in its experimental layering of images. As a mixed media artist, heat is essential to Casagrande Clancy’s practice; it moves the paint and images to places which cannot be reached with a paintbrush alone. Using encaustic medium as her primary entry into expression, her work is informed by her previous career as a Pediatric Grief Counselor.  In creating both two dimensional and sculptural work, Casagrande Clancy uses her art as a means to search for our interconnectedness in the wider world.
