This oil on canvas measures 24" x 24 " and is titled "11:11", painted in 2011.

Tracey Kessler's work reflects the calm she finds in the daily interactions and conversations with random acquaintances, friends, and family. Though inspired throughout the turbulent times of our modern era, her work (influenced by such artists as Tàpies, Twombly, and Stein) possesses a soothing, calm and organic feel clearly paralleled by her California lifestyle.

My themes are based on a time-line of life circumstances which we often cannot plan for or control. The constant play of contradiction of actions, belief systems of the viewer and the tormented constraint of perceived notions all add to the depth of the art. Hearing what the viewer finds or connects with in the piece is a fascinating part of the puzzle.

Artist & designer currently working on fine art, lighting, interiors and textiles. Her background is in architecture and interiors.
