Heritage Fine Arts Guild

Workshop Description

Join international award-winning artist Steve Tracy for an exciting, all-media art workshop! Covering the fundamental principles of painting and composition, Steve will be teaching his unique 3-3 design theory. You will never look at art in the same way! The workshop emphasizes developing strong, abstracted designs with the use of color, soft edges, and a clear focal point. Steve will provide individual instruction to each student as they develop their art. A final critique will be conducted at the end of the class.

The workshop is open to artists of ALL skill levels with a good working knowledge of their chosen medium. Since the principles covered in the workshop apply to all media, no formal supply list is provided. Just bring whatever you need to create art in your favorite medium!

Please no solvents with odors! To ensure individual attention, the workshop is limited to 20 students (NOTE: if the workshop fills up early and we have enough interest, Steve is willing to do another workshop for HFAG on Feburary 26!).

About the Artist

Steve Tracy was born in Santa Clara, CA, in 1953 and grew up in Colorado and California. He began painting at the age of 10 with a set of hand-me-down oil paints. His education began at the School of Visual Arts in New York. He went on to graduate from the Colorado Institute of Art and furthered his studies in sculpting, design, drawing, illustration and commercial art with Lowell Nesbitt and Deborah Remington.

Steve also studied printmaking at California's Kala Art Institute. In his home state, Steve joined the San Francisco Artist Guild, acquired an artist's studio there, and began painting regularly with Win Ng and Riko Takata. He continued his education with David A. Lefell of the New York Art Student League and many others of the Denver Art Student League. With this range of experiences and connections, Steve became equipped to undertake work in a variety of genres: abstract, still life, landscapes, murals, figurative and floral, and has become internationally renowned.

Steve has paved the way for other artists over the years, providing masterful instruction. He has exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Florida, New York, Asheville, NC, and in numerous group shows in the U.S. and Canada. Steve Tracy's distinctive artwork can be found in many fine art galleries.
