Based in Talgarno, Traci draws inspiration from the intricate layers of life’s journey, exploring themes that traverse the past, present, and future.
In Searching for Light, Traci J’s artworks illuminate the delicate interplay between light and shadow, both within the natural world and the human experience.
Water serves as an important element in Traci’s work, symbolising simplicity, survival and the continuous flow of time.
Her paintings feature the diverse flora and fauna of Australia, including bees, whales, seals, and native trees and flowers.
These subjects highlight the dynamic relationship and delicate balance between environment and nature.
Wild Honey by Traci J.
Traci J begins each piece by applying a watercolour wash to the paper, allowing the initial flow of the paint to inspire the subjects that emerge.
This allows her to capture the essence of the natural world.
Benalla Art Gallery director, Eric Nash, said Traci J’s light-filled works are uplifting and further testament to the artistic talents residing in our region.
“Like Traci J, many continue to be inspired by our incredible natural surrounds,” he said.
All works in the Gallery Shop are available for purchase from Benalla Art Gallery, by phone at 5760 2619, or by email at gallery@benalla.vic.gov.au
