ABOUT
Tracey Waldroup is best known for her abstract works which convey a sense of mystery, primarily through illegible handwriting, buried under layers of acrylic paint and texture. The artist who is most influential in her current work is American painter Cy Twombly; his gestural writing conveys a sense of spontaneity that inspires her process.

Her work is heavily indebted to Buddhist teachings which have carried her from a place of suffering and loss to a place of wholeness and healing. Having acquired the ability to start fresh after periods of upheaval, she is fearless in her attitude toward life and making art.

Tracey teaches fearlessness in creating art and living life. After earning her BFA in Art Education and MA in Educational Leadership from The University of Texas at Arlington, she taught high school advanced placement art in Grapevine, TX. She now teaches in Houston Texas and studies at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston under Brian Portman.
