SPOTLIGHT -Tracy Pospeck is a Mixed Media Artist, Ceramic Sculptor and Potter. She derives inspiration for her works from her love of the outdoors as well as her infatuation with urban landscapes. Tracy owns homes in Naples and in Manhattan. She equally loves both cities, deriving ideas from the art communities and moods of both areas. From Florida she draws inspiration from its natural wildlife and landscapes. By watching “critters” in their natural habitats Tracy gathers ideas for the subjects of her creations. From NYC, the architectural buildings and the inhabitants of the city are infused in many of her pieces.
Tracy loves to teach and holds a Minor in Education as well as Master of Nursing degree from the University of Florida. She is an Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) but is now on her second career creating and teaching art. Tracy believes that art techniques should be shared and that art and learning are an ongoing process. She therefore learns as much from others as they learn from her. Tracy continues taking classes from other artists to keep updated in new techniques and believes the old adages “you are never too old to learn” and that you certainly can “teach old dogs, new tricks.”
She has travelled and attended many Mixed Media workshops including sessions with many well-known artists such as: Claudine Hellmuth, Michael Demeng, Carol Nelson, Lisa Pavelka,Clarissa Callesen, Laura Mika, Andrea Matus, Dee Julian, Rebecca Schweiger, Jen Cushman, Carla Sonheim, Doug Corsini and Lewis Rossignol. Tracy has also taken classes in bookmaking, encaustic wax, texture arts, calligraphy, illustration, formal acrylic painting, watercolor painting, alcohol inks, pen and ink drawing, sculpture and more. All of these techniques are used and incorporated into her artwork and pottery.
Tracy currently holds the position of Co-Director of COCO Art Gallery in Estero.
