About Tracy Lévesque

"Art is not a luxury. Art is a philosophy on life. Creation is the key to survival. I am a painter of people, things and places; a painter of existence. My work, quite simply, is an expression of my life and the experiences I have had. Like a memory, a painting is a frozen moment in time brimming full of subjective meaning. It will never mean the same thing twice, it will never mean the same thing to the same person, but in the end, it will always mean something because it was created with purpose, passion and a true intent to celebrate existence."

About Tracy Lévesque: 

Tracy Lévesque is a painter based in New England. She works out of Boston, Massachusetts and the Berkshires.

Lévesque draws on the colour, light and form of the natural world as a distinct entity refracted by the imagination of the artist.

Lévesque's portraits and landscapes are done in varying textures using a combination of brushwork and palette knife. Her signature black outline technique gives the painting a surreal reality reminiscent of stained glass. The application is done spontaneously and is a direct response to the colour and energy observed in Nature caught by the human eye in a moment of realization. The flux, movement, individuality and vivaciousness are captured in thick impasto strokes and broad flourishes of pigment. A painting, like a human being, is a character in itself, full of individuality and life and Lévesque's paintings are an attempt to capture and celebrate such a complex creature and share it with the world.
