Tracy Lewis lives in the Sierra Foothills, California. She works primarily in transparent watercolor. “I’m pretty much of a purest in my approach to the medium. I love to layer luminous transparent glazes of pure hue, giving everything a candy coat of Easter-like color. Even though my work is fairly realistic, I get caught up in the little abstract patterns within a subject. I enjoy setting up little still lifes of favorite things, playing with paradoxical juxtapositions, zeroing in on things to elevate the ordinary to the sublime. I love to paint portraits of beautiful contemporary women that are intense and a little mysterious.” Tracy currently teaches watercolor classes and workshops at her studio in the historic Fairchild Building on Main Street in Placerville and at Brick Alley Art Studios in Sacramento, California.
