Macy West (b. 1999) is a painter and art educator making work about hope not yet realized, using abstraction as a means of refiguration.
In 2021 Macy completed her BFA in Studio Arts from Louisiana State University where she had also concentrated in Biological Sciences with special attention to the intersection of art and science for visual communication.
From 2021-2023, Macy taught high school art and physics at a private school in Covington, Louisiana, an experience which embedded the desire for communication and learning to forever be closely tied to her artistic practice. Macy is currently completing her MFA at Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia, PA with anticipated graduation this May 2025. She manages a small print and design shop, the Graphics Media Center, and serves as a leader in the Graduate Arts Collective, a student organization dedicated to community arts building starting with Tyler Graduate Students through events including Open Studios and coordinating student art exhibitions.
