Tracey's passion for painting began later in life but was definitely worth the wait. She has always had a love of nature; particularly flowers and the sea and the huge skies above. Her inspiration and love of natures’ colour and patterns are clearly evident in all her work. She often photographs flower petals and is particularly interested in the tiny details that often go unnoticed.

 

As well as painting with acrylic, in recent years Tracey has developed a passion for working with alcohol ink; the vibrancy of the highly pigmented ink and the way it moves and creates different tones when mixed with the alcohol is quite mesmerising to see.

Working usually without brushes, manipulating the inks using only a straw, she creates fluid shapes which have many intricate layers giving the appearance of a delicate, chiffon like quality. She often adds metallic ink to highlight the details and bring the work even more alive. 

Tracey works from her studio in Reigate, Surrey. She has sold work across Europe, the USA and Asia and exhibits during the year mainly in Kent and Surrey.

"My aim is to bring joy, positivity and evoke emotions, allowing viewers to pause, breathe and escape into moments of serenity, knowing that each piece is a mood-lifting journey as much as it is good to look at."

My inspiration always stems from nature; flowers, the sea and sky, which I find almost magical. My love of flowers started early in life; as well as the colours it’s the intricate detail of the petals that fascinate me. I use a straw to move the  inks which flow to create calming, organic shapes.

Artists Statement

My inspiration always stems from nature; colours, flowers, the sea and sky, which I find almost magical. My love of flowers started early in life, I vividly remember being fascinated by wildflowers in the copse at junior school and sketching them. It’s the intricate detail of the petals that fascinate me and when creating from my imagination now, I use a straw to move the inks which flow to create calming, organic shapes. Before I begin any new artwork, I have an image in my mind that I would like to create and the feelings I want to capture; whether that be calming, warm and secure or more vibrant and energising – but the overall aim is always to bring joy

 

My pieces don’t always end up as I first imagine but evolve as I’m working and I find that very exciting! While creating I get completely lost in the process which has a wonderful overall feeling of calm and serenity. This is what I hope to portray to you, the viewer, allowing you to experience these feelings too. ​If a piece of my work makes you feel joy that is priceless to me!
