"Kang Fu"

Being an artist means not numbering or counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn't force its sap, standing confidently in storms, not afraid that summer may not come.
-Rainer Maria Rilke-

Tracy Pollock is a native of New Jersey she works full time and paints to maintain her art career. In 2000 she moved to Portland Oregon, returning in 2004 to Warren County, New Jersey.

Tracy paints landscapes, still lifes and animal portrait commissions. Her choice of painting mediums are oil, watercolor, mixed media and pastels. Her style borders on impressionism with her bold color and loosely painted brushwork. Tracy’s commissioned animal portraits look like oils though painted in pastels.

Tracy knew she wanted to be a painter from a young age, maybe her introduction at a young age to artist Lee W. Hughes solidified that for her. She studied at duCret School of the arts, Plainfield NJ from 1982-1985. Mainly fine art but received a Certificate in Graphic Arts. She worked as a graphic artist in the Advertising field, freelanced for over 15 years and was an art director in an in-house marketing department. Tracy went to the Student’s Art League of NYC on weekends from 2007-2008 studying with Oldrich Teply, Joseph Peller and 2020 on line with Henry Finkelstein.

Leaving corporate in 2013 Tracy entered the Connoisseur Gallery in Bedminster, NJ. She helped run the gallery, introduced local artist and organized art shows. She did framing and apprenticed at oil painting restoration/frame restoration for over 3 years.

Her work can be seen at local arts and crafts fairs/festivals in New Jersey, while promoting her animal portrait commissions. Tracy exhibits and enters juried shows throughout the tri-state area. 

Tracy has taught privately in group settings and individually outdoors. Her paintings are held in private collections throughout the US. If you are interested in Tracy’s work or would like to commission a piece contact her through email.
