This week, for the twenty-fourth episode in Propeller’s PODCAST series: BEYOND THE FRAME, we hear from Tracy Thomson.
BEYOND THE FRAME features one-on-one inspiring interviews with Propeller artists, taking you inside the artists’ process; allowing the listener to hear first hand, the intimate stories behind the art!
Episode #24 Tracy Thomson
In this episode, Expressionist painter and Mixed Media artist Tracy Thomson discusses her earliest influences from Canadian Landscape painting, to the explosive creativity of the Queen St West art scene, as a young OCA student.
Today, her reconstructed paintings allow her to lose all sense of gravity and “walk into the unfamiliar”.
“Art has been in my life since forever…and its been my lifeline…the one true thing I can always count on…”
Tracy Thomson
