Find Out Fridays - Tracy Verdugo

If Tracy Verdugo was given the opportunity to coin a term for a new art movement based around what she teaches  she  might call it “Curiosity and Wonderism”or  maybe “Loosen-upism” or “Endless possibilitism”

When she is not hanging out with her family in their eclectic adobe home in Huskisson on the shores of Jervis Bay, Australia, or throwing paint around in her little purple studio in their backyard, you may find her wrangling with two large suitcases attempting to board the BART in San Francisco en route to teach at an art retreat or sitting in a circle on St Pete Beach Florida listening intently as students share their stories of creative exploration.

Tracy is a best selling author, inspiration instigator, prolific painter, singer/songwriter and lover of the written word, smitten traveller and soaker up of all that is beauty-full.  She teaches her Paint Mojo and other creative workshops all over this amazing planet and reminds her students of the wonder that already resides within them.

Her works are vibrant and filled with joy, inspired both by wanderlust, diversity and the beauty of everyday life. Since 2000 Tracy has held 20 successful solo exhibitions and her works are held in collections both in Australia and internationally.

Mostly though she is mama bear to two gorgeous, zest-filled daughters, Santana and Sienna, and co-adventurer  in life with her amor of 32 years, the talented and brilliant Marco.

I love the fresh take on how you used the masking fluid. A very fun, whimsical painting. Thanks for participating in Donna's Find Out Fridays challenge. Another great episode, Donna.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for the Find Out Friday series. I am a newbie and love to learn techniques by watching others.

Beautiful! Loved the contrast btw the vibrancy & detail of the background and the serenity of the elephant focal point. I too liked how you used the masking fluid to create organic movement. Thx for letting us peak over your shoulder!
