Describe your experienceEmerging
Artist Statement for the Website

Tracey is a mixed media intuitive artist painting abstracts. Through her intuition she translates impressions of the environment around her into multi layered abstract paintings. Her art practice is very colour driven. Her pieces combine simplistic florals with shapes and mark making.

They begin by colour choice then multiple layers are added building on shapes of interest, the layers build the texture and each layer builds on defining shapes of interest and adding florals and mark making. Tracey strives to paint happy colourful art to evoke feelings of joy and interest to the eye. Using acrylic paint, pens and inks mainly on the canvases. Her paintings relate more to inward feeling rather than intellect.

She is continually looking at new ways to further develop her visual language, she explores new ways of mark making in her art journals, this has been a practise she does daily if possible for the past 9 years, they are her art record keepers and they vary greatly through the years, they hold her journey, progress and growth.

The influence of working with textiles from a young age is always coming through her final stages of art. Crochet, knitting and sewing are very prevalent in her daily life.

Her love of all the beauty Mother Nature provides is her biggest inspiration. Always looking at the world through the artists eye wherever she goes exploring and sourcing new ideas for marks and impressions she can take back to her studio and explore more in works.

Artist Statement for the Event Guide

Tracey is a mixed media intuitive artist, art journal creator and maker. Inspired by colour her art takes you on a bright, happy, imaginative journey across the canvas, paper and through the art journals.

Studio Details

Briefly describe your studio space (is it in your home, shed, farm etc, is it filled with light, is it tiny or cavernous?) & can you provide a taste of what visitors will see and experience there?

My art studio is accessed through my side gates, off the veradah with the pool outlook.
With big glass windows it has great natural light. My walls are filled with hanging art and the tables have my art journals for visitors to browse through. There is a nook to the side of the bigger room which also has prints and art on the walls. There is a lot of room for people to flow around the room looking at the art works.

Describe the kind of interactive experience you may provide to visitors. E.g. are you demonstrating your art practice?

I will be demonstrating the art journal practice along with discussing how they are able to start their own art journals as a therapeutic practice and some mindfulness time.

Are you sharing a studio with another artist?No
