Announcing New Artist Tracy Girdler!

TRACY GIRDLER

Tracy was born in the United States but has lived in Brazil, Spain and Italy, and has traveled on four continents, experience which is reflected in her work. Her paintings, acrylic, oil and mixed media on canvas, are not pictures of anything in particular, but rather arise out of her vision, which may be expressed variously in soft earth tones and subtle shadings or vibrant colors and sharp contrasts. Texture and depth are crucial elements lending edge, warmth, strength, and impact. She seeks not to shock or overwhelm, but rather to intrigue the viewer and challenge the eye so as to reveal new perspectives and insights.

She studied art at the Foxcroft School in Virginia and at the Corcoran College of Art+Design in Washington, D.C. She also interned at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.

Her works hang in private collections in both modern and traditional homes, and in the lobbies of the Four Seasons Hotel and the Ritz Carlton Residences in Boston.

She took part in a show in Harvard Square, Art Hop Burlington, VT, and Holiday Hop, Burlington, VT.

Tracy won in an Artslant Showcase.

As a finalist in Artists Wanted contest, Art Takes Times Square, her painting was shown on Times Square billboards.

Tracy was a finalist in the ESSIE awards and will be in the exhibit at Gallore Gallery, CT in August.

Tracy was in the top 100 artists of the SELF 2012 Artists Wanted International Contest.

Tracy exhibited in Lisbon, Portugal at Colorida Gallery in August to September 2012.

Tracy’s work was selected for Artists Wanted Art Book Publication.

Tracy has a solo exhibit in Rome, Italy at Galleria Monogramma late this fall for over a month.
