Enjoy the whimsical charm of artist Gay Tracy’s paintings, and how she tells stories through her work.
“Hell’s Cats” by artist Gay Tracy
My name is Gay Tracy, but I just use my first name to sign my work. I am a painter and have been painting professionally for the last twenty years.
“Dancing in the Stars” by artist Gay Tracy
I paint because I love color and the feeling of moving paint on a canvas; mixing color, making forms; creating.
“Don’t Fence Me In” by artist Gay Tracy
I enjoy the challenges that painting brings and the process of solving these problems. I paint from my gut, or visual sense, without a fixed idea of what the final work will be.
“Banjo 1” by artist Gay Tracy
The work itself guides me as I guide the work and mistakes are made and hopefully fixed. This process excites me and adds to my joy of experimentation.
“Stop” by artist Gay Tracy
One challenge I explore is painting motion and emotion. Often joining emotion and motion to create a story. A story for the viewer to discover and play with.
“Lick” by artist Gay Tracy
I often paint “portraits’ of dogs, which are uniquely colored and are actually paintings of emotion as expressed by dogs.
“When” by artist Gay Tracy
I am also exploring people, the human figure, their interactions. Again these challenge the viewer to create a story about what is happening.
“Electrified” by artist Gay Tracy

Gay’s work is brilliant in color and imagination. She really captures the caves at Lescaux. She also writes with honesty and grace.
Congratulations! Gay. This is quite an accomplishment.
