Explore the Art of Tracey Bayer
"I love how Art can take your breath away, awaken your dreams, give you an escape into imaginary spaces, make you laugh, think, and most of all Art is created to enjoy who you are."
...My Inspiration...
My art pieces range depicting elements from my beloved Australia, journeys of the heart, images from dreams, and fun whimsical imagination. Colour always excites me and I love how it can make you hold your breath just for that moment while you savor every tiny detail. Inspiration can come from the most diverse places and captures the imagination and sets off a string of thoughts that begin the next adventure in painting.
...Exhibitions & Collectors...
My works have been exhibited in different galleries and events around Adelaide and the Barossa Valley. I have been privileged to have collectors from all around the world purchase and display my paintings including Hong Kong, Germany, and England.
...Students & Art Workshops...
One of my joys is Teaching Students and running Workshops. I liken the students to beautiful flowers buds, initially so closed up and insecure, that gradually unfurl and extend as they see the wonder of what they can achieve and their confidence blooms till they stand on their own merit.
I have had the privilege of helping those with special needs children to have some time out to refresh and enjoy something for themselves.
One of the local community groups asked me to facilitate and create a short art course for the inmates in the women's prison. This was held as a group session over multiple weeks.
Art can be tailored to different skill levels and include disability and age factors.
...A Little About Me...
I can't even remember a time when I wasn't creating or enjoying Art. I was born to paint. That's all I ever wanted to do at school and ever since I have always been hungry for new techniques and to learn from as many avenues as possible including artists from around the world. You can never stop learning!
I love to create Art because passion and paint create an unlimited world that touches the most intimate deep soul space in our hearts, creates life, fun, laughter, and breathes so much joy and colour into our lives. It allows me to share my journey with you and also create a visual new world for you to escape into and discover your own.
"Painting has always been my secret place where time disappears and I feel like I can fly, that anything is possible, everything else disappears for that moment in time."
...Life Challenges...
I have been through many life challenges including cancer, nearly losing my husband when someone tried to kill him due to mistaken identity, living in a 3rd world country and war zone... life doesn't always go the way we thought but we can choose how we come through it. We all need to remember to enjoy life, to treasure family and friends, to make the most of each day, and take time out to enjoy the breathtaking creation that God has placed all around us.
...Thank you...
Because Art is so powerful I believe it should not only change my world but also yours. Part proceeds from sales go to different charities to help others doing it tough. So I want to thank you and congratulate you for your help in giving to our world community as you purchase from my collection.
