 Based from her studio in the South of Edinburgh, Tracey Pacitti is an emerging Artist who exhibits throughout the year across Edinburgh, Fife and the Lothians.
Following a full-time successful 20 year career, during which, as a mature student, she studied and achieved an honours degree in Psychology, she discovered a natural ability to paint.
With regards to her work, each creative journey is a foray into the unexpected; Tracey is open to new ideas and bursts of spontaneity as colour, light and shadow and visible brush work combine to capture her vision. She paints instinctively, in a largely unconscious process, and feels that entire process of mark marking is as important to her as the finished painting.
She favours painting on cadmium red canvas using a broken colour technique to allow considered areas of the red canvas to show through in her paintings. This technique, which enables the colours to appear to shimmer or vibrate against each other, gives each piece a warm, vibrant and exciting quality, and appears in many of her paintings.
Tracey’s interest in psychology and in particular human behaviour and emotion has lead to the commencement of a new series of paintings of human life as observed outdoors; each executed with the attempt to convey emotion through the poses of the figures contained within each piece. There is something nostalgic about these pieces within which most of us can recognise something familiar and comforting.
The majority of her works are completed in oils however she also works in watercolour and mixed media.
Her work is in private collections across in the UK and United States.
Tracey has had work published in the Art Magazine entitled The Leisure Painter in April 2011 and in the Stirling Observer relating to her recent Solo Show.
She has also had work shortlisted (Bathgate Tree) for inclusion in the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition. She is a member of the VAS (Visual Arts Scotland) and SAA (Society for All Artists)
Her Art Education includes attending Leith School of Art Autumn to winter 2009 with Tutor Emma Szilágyi and studies with Margaret Evans and Tony Williams - both professional Artists
