Heritage: Yetta Dichne by Tracy Finn Image: This piece is part of my Heritage series - begun by layering family portraits over my collage work. Yetta emigrated to the US from Russia as a teenager in 1922. She was the smart one in a family of 4 girls and died tragically young shortly after her arrival. Her story lives here and in my heart.

Artist Statement:

"I am a New York State based artist and divide my time between the Hudson Valley and the Adirondacks. My encaustic paintings explore themes of home, history, immigration and loss. My painting process involves collage and sectional images repeated in multiple layers to develop a vibrant visual narrative. Archival papers are combined with elements of my drawing and photography, allowing me to process history in the lens of today. Many things have been lost but the remnants are precious."
