About Me

My photo
Tracie
St. Paul, MN, United States
The art I make comes from an alternate world (or several of them) that has always lived inside my head. These places of mine aren’t that far from the one we all live in; they are just one step sideways from here.

The stories my art tells — I don’t always know how they start or how they end. I have pictures, characters, impressions; sometimes a sentence or two, a short poem, an idea. But it’s never complete and it is up to the viewer to imagine the parts that elude me. At heart, I’m not just a storyteller but a collaborator: I want someone else to come along on the adventure and discover the tale as we go.

My original art pieces sell to collectors in galleries and online. Feel free to contact me if you’d like more information, are interested in purchasing or commissioning an original work, or would like to license something of mine for reproduction.
