Student Profile

Raquel Tripp
MFA, Art Studio

BA, Studio Art, Pictorial with Education emphasis, San Jose State University, CA, 2017

R M Tripp is a California based artist making artworks on paper. Through a process of archival image collection, digital image manipulation, and then projection, scenes from the familiar past are transcribed in charcoal and ash. Tripp presents a type of “Post-Truth” History Painting.  In the style of contemporary media diets that are rife with partisan misinformation, she chooses to be a somewhat unreliable narrator.
