Tracy Mah

;-)

Tracy is a Malaysian-born painter based in New York, working in watercolors, acrylics, and oils. Her introduction to painting began through weekend art classes from childhood into her teenage years, where she developed a foundation in watercolors; she later expanded her practice independently across other mediums.

Before returning to painting, Tracy built a visual arts practice in Singapore rooted in photography. In 2013, she was selected for The Apprenticeship Programme by the National Art Council of Singapore, mentored by documentary photographer Yian Huang, and exhibited her work at the Singapore Art Museum. That same year, her artwork was selected for the Noise Singapore Festival Showcase, and she was commissioned to create original works for Noise Singapore postcards. In 2015, she was commissioned again as part of the Noise Alumni Exhibition "Becoming of Age." After eight years in graphic design, she returned to painting in 2021.

Tracy's paintings explore the interconnectedness of memory, nature, and imagination through organic forms, vibrant color, and expressive brushwork. Rooted in a childhood spent in her mother's garden in Malaysia, her practice draws on the belief that time with nature can surface memories and emotions that reveal the world's quiet fragility. Working across watercolors, acrylics, and oil paint, she continues to expand her visual language through each medium.
