Tracy works primarily in transparent watercolor and is a purest in her approach to the medium. Layering luminous, transparent glazes of pure hue give her work a candy coat of Easter-like color. Her art is fairly realistic with a stylistic twist. Tracy’s teachers have been watercolor geniuses, Gary Pruner and Jeannie Vodden, as evidenced in her strikingly fresh and fluid work.

Art Nouveau, silent movies, flea markets, vintage clothing, Paris, swirly patterns, polka dot, symbolism, animal skulls, flowers, belly dancers, fairy tales and tattoos have all influenced her art.
