WELCOME
Tracey is a contemporary artist based in Hertfordshire where art and creativity have always been a strong part of her identity. Having originally trained as a graphic designer she enjoyed a successful 10 years in the industry, until a long term health condition made her step back and reassess. It was during this break she returned to art, finding focus and an escape from daily pain and naturally formed a new career path for herself as a professional artist.
​
Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Tracey has a unique way of using light and shadow to dramatically enhance the mood of a scene. She says "My aim is to paint the character, grace and power of the animals I depict. To freeze fleeting moments in time - when something feels just out of reach, or to give the impression of being watched quietly from the shadows."
Tracey's work is iconic for its extraordinary level of detail, which highlights the natural beauty of the animals she paints.
Represented by Buckingham Fine Art Publishers, with collections available to purchase from their esteemed galleries across the UK such as Soho Fine Art, Aura Fine Art and Cotswold Contemporary Galleries.
