Tucson based artist Tracy Ann Holmes, is a transplant to the desert yet she immediately loved its otherworldly landscapes and is awed by the tenacity & beauty of the life that survives this arid clime. Inspiration also comes from her faith, the challenges of raising a family and what it means to be a woman.
Tracy received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in Ceramics from Brigham Young University in 1998. With over 25 years of experience she utilizes ceramics in sculptural and mural art. Tracy often uses the female form in metaphorical ways to embody her deepest pondering.
Tracy's other favorite medium is watercolor. She delights in applying bright colors with a combination of serendipity and control. See her "Sonoran Desert Life Series" with over 100 images of the plants and animals that she sees near her Arizona home.
Tracy taught in the public school system for five years and continues to teach select youth and adult art classes. By sharing her talents with others she is able to help empower others to create art and enjoy the work of their hands.
Tracy's art work is represented at SAAG (Southern Arizona Arts Guild) Gallery of Gifts, Absolutely Art, Tohono Chul Park, The Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum and on her ETSY site.
