September Artist of the month

The Barrington Cultural Arts Center (BCAC) is pleased to have Tracy Albert as the featured artist at the BCAC Gallery at the Ice House Mall for the month of September.

Tracy received a BA from Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin and MA in Art Education from the University of Illinois. In addition, she studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and Northwestern University. She is also a member of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America.

Tracy has taught art for 34 years in the public school system. Currently, she is teaching in a private art school.

Over the years, she has studied and exhibited her artwork in Austria, France and Norway. She has works in private collections in those countries. She has had the wonderful experience of painting in Giverny, France, Claude Monet's home. She is passionate about watercolor and never ceases to be excited when the loaded brush first touches the paper. She loves to witness the explosion of color wet on wet. Tracy is drawn to flowers as subject matter as well as portraits. Lately, Tracy has been revisiting her love of portraiture after spending many years creating portraits at art fairs and private establishments. She has also been devoting more time to working in oils on canvas.
