Artist Bio

Tracy Kimmons is an abstract artist working primarily in oils and various mediums to accomplish striking abstract black and white and color concepts. 

Before Tracy became a painter, she traveled the world as a photographer working primarily for large architectural firms. She was born in Texas, earned her degree at the Art Institute of Houston and lives, works, and exhibits in Northern California and Nevada.

Tracy is represented by Laguna Art Gallery and is currently exhibiting in Southern California. She has been accepted to Wildbiyoo art residency in Goa, India, in 2020 and HANGAR residency in Lisbon, Portugal, in late 2020 for studies in environmental impacts and landscape painting.

Like a dance or capturing lightning in a bottle - my black and white with muted color paintings take on a contemporary approach, while my bold contrasting color work takes on a more elegant abstract avenue to translate my message. 

In the blink of an eye, I have captured something that no person’s mind will recognize because it has never been before. I paint from my imagination and reference my work through broken up memories of landscapes or locations from past travels. 

Fictional realities of my work are broadened by painting in layers working with a pallet knife often with my eyes closed.

I eliminate all fear and control to find the best interpretation of my art most of which I learned as a child and still apply to my painting technique today.
