Mary Grace Tate is an interdisciplinary artist currently living and working in Hoboken, NJ. She recently completed her MFA at Sierra Nevada College and holds a BA in Studio Art from Vassar College. Her work delves into the unintentional residue of our lived experience. The language on plastic bags, neon signs, and scrawls left on tree trunks are framed as earnest attempts for connection between the maker and the viewer. Her resulting representational paintings offer a humorous and sincere lens with which to view the world.
