Tracey specialised in Fine Art Sculpture with a MFA in 2002 at
the University of Ulster. She has been working within the field of
sculpture and glass since 2003 after she trained with artisan brothers,
Gianni and Massimo Bracciai in Sienna, Italy, at Vitrate Artiste
Toscana. Here she assisted in the creation of large scale ecclesiastical
glass installations sited in places of worship across the United States.
This is where the seeds were sown for her passion for glass as a
medium of transferring the ethereal qualities of glass.
Tracey’s glass work, which incorporates large scale public
sculpture, private commissions and glass craft sculpture can be
found across the island of Ireland in external and internal public
spaces and private collections.
Her work is inspired heavily by her strong association with light,
celestial movement, natural form and phenomenon. Tracey gains
inspiration from her natural surroundings particularly the movement
found in the ever changing Irish weather system, seasonal change
and the mysterious qualities found in her local landscape.
Tracey hosts full day fused glass sessions at her White Rock Glass
Studio throughout the year. Here participants are invited to immerse
themselves in the art of glass making whilst creating their own
masterpiece in the unique surroundings of her working studio. This
is a relaxed and creative experience where Tracey invites participants
to learn many skills in the production of fused glass artworks from
conception of idea through to execution, firing and finishing of the
artwork. Refreshments and a home cooked meal are also provided in
Tracey’s unique family home.
Tracey also hosts open studio days where the public are invited to
gain an insight into the many facets of a working artist. Visitors will
be immersed in whatever project Tracey is working on at that time
and will also enjoy the unique surroundings of her working studio and
family home.
