I'm an artist after a 25 year career in architecture & design. The best way to contact me is via e-mail.

Artist Statement:
In my work, layered abstractions are born and transformed by nature's elements of wind, rain, sunlight and time. I explore the circumstances of life through a diversity of media, textures and gestures, which imbue my compositions with vitality and a sense of motion. My work mediates between turbulence and joy. As layers of material are melded and molded by hand and time, the beauty of our daily path is revealed.

Umber Nights , is a solo exhibition of new works by Tracey Kessler, mixed-media on canvas that were completed over the Summer of 2017 in Sausalito, CA. Kessler’s practice is the result of layering materials relating to the current environment. These works represent the dryness of the state of California due to the drought. Envisioning the indigo nights enhanced with painterly strokes of umber, smokey charcoals and gray fog coming in from the Pacific ocean.

Correspondence

Six initiating artists (who started their work on October 1, 2016) are each corresponding with another fellow artist until May 1, 2017. These correspondences will be sent and received via the postal system in the tradition of Mail Art. For many of the artists this will be the only means of communication between the two artists, forcing them to explore the intimacy of conversation through the physical exchange of letters/art works.
