"I love light and color, so when I am looking for fresh subject matter light is the key. I take my camera everywhere I go, never knowing when I will stumble upon the perfect scene for my next painting. Once I have my subject chosen I can then have fun with color! I love the way the paints mingle on the surface of the paper and the resulting colors when left untouched by my brush!
I would describe my style as Impressionistic Realism. I strive to give the viewer a strong sense of place without getting caught up in too much detail."
Tracy began watercolor in 1996, although her instruction has come primarily by studying instructional books by favorite artists, Tracy has also had the privilege of studying under well known artists Judy Morris, Tom Lynch, Eric Wiegardt and David Taylor.
Tracy resides with her husband and daughter in West Linn, Oregon.
She is a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon.
"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
