About Tricia Caracappa:

Tricia Caracappa paints delight – not just to imagine, but to feel through color, movement and layers that tell a story. A contemporary artist from Katonah, New York, Tricia’s abstract paintings explore communicating energy through art. Her artistic practice is shaped by her background in dance, science, finance and interior design — a fusion of movement, curiosity, structure and play that balances bold decisions and letting go. Tricia has a degree in interior design from Parsons School of Design and a Bachelor of Science from Providence College, and she studied at the Art Students League. Tricia left her corporate career at a global brokerage firm to start a creative career in interior design, and is now a full-time artist. She currently serves on the board of the Katonah Museum of Artists’ Association. Tricia’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows and is in private collections across the country.

About Rebecca Rivard:

Rebecca’s art is a reflection of a lifelong journey steeped in creativity and exploration. Raised in a home where artistry was encouraged, she was immersed in a world where expression had no boundaries. This rich foundation led her to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where she honed her skills and began defining her artistic voice.

Throughout her career, Rebecca has embraced a variety of creative roles. She has developed a wide array of arts programs for children, led hands on workshops for teachers, and shared her passion for music with countless piano students through her teaching studio. These diverse experiences have enriched her understanding of the interplay between art, music, and human connection, shaping the multifaceted artist she is today.

Rebecca finds profound meaning in the act of revealing her inner world through art. Much of her time is spent in quiet reflection, often in the company of nature, where she draws inspiration from the intricate beauty and rhythms of the natural world. These moments provide a space to weave together memories, experiences, and observations into a rich tapestry of thoughts and ideas. This internal process inspired the rebranding of her online presence to Innerworkingart, a name that underscores her commitment to making the internal visible—not just her own, but as an invitation for others to pause and connect with their own inner worlds.
