Kassia Rico-Yeh is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, drawing and public art exploring the fusion of how memory intersects with historical traditions, cultural narratives, and natural ephemera reflecting her Chinese and Mexican American heritage and upbringing in San Gabriel Valley. Rico-Yeh’s practice investigates how painting can reveal notions of place, home, and landscape or how memory encloses that space in a dreamlike effect viewers feel. The artist’s work is deeply rooted in her explorations of stillness, serenity and tradition, in an era marked by blurred lines between fact and fiction.

Kassia Rico-Yeh (b. 1993, Glendale, CA) received a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2015. Over the past 15 years, she has gained experience in copyright, painting assistance, public art studio assistance, and registration through her work with the studios of David Hockney, Faith XLVII, and Umar Rashid, and more. Rico-Yeh’s works have been acquired by the Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles; Los Angeles Metro; and the Rhode Island School of Design.
