Tracy Hunt

Mixed media Painting

Tracy is an intuitive artist working mainly in cold wax. She enjoys evoking a moment in time - a memory, experience, place, atmosphere, in the form of a loose landscape, seascape, space-scape and occasional abstract work. Tracy also enjoys the purity of drawing : mark making as a starting point for her work.
She feels that a vague suggestion of a place allows others to connect with her paintings more than predictable outcomes. Cold wax allows Tracy to be playful, letting accidental marks and unexpected textures to form part of the piece.
Tracy often begins each painting with an idea, but is guided by the medium letting it speak for itself in an Alchemic way.
Her work has an element of mystery, frequently evoking a mood with elements of inspiration from places visited and weather conditions. Her paintings are atmospheric, elemental and 'of the moment' .
Tracy taught art and design for 18 years before retraining to become a holistic therapist. She was an associate member of the Lansdown Art Studios for 4 years. Tracy now has a purpose built studio in her garden.
