Tracie Griffith Tso painted her first bamboo brushstrokes as a child at a brush painter's studio in California. She specializes in traditional Chinese spontaneous flower-bird painting. The award-winning artist developed her brushpainting style on paper with a teacher schooled by a Hong Kong master. She learned to throw pots at age 12 at a neighborhood art center, a skill which, when combined with painting, produces functional clay art.

Her work reflects complete compositions from an artist's vision. She paints without sketching, so no two pieces are alike. She specializes in the freestyle drawing of plants and animals as she enjoys reflecting emotion and movement in body language. Her subjects include koi, rabbits, squirrels, siamese cats, birds, horses, frogs bamboo, peonies, blossoms and more. She has shown her at the Factory since 2008; see her work on her ground floor Studio 22 Fire On.
