Tracey Fletcher has always loved the topographical nature of thick painting styles, but they’ve always been drawn to fiber as a medium. Weaving with yarn and other fibers allows them to create uniquely textured pieces of abstract art. They weave directly into upcycled frames, so each piece is unique to that frame and truly one of a kind. To ensure no yarn goes to waste, Tracey uses every last scrap in small functional yarn sculptures or hand-sewn scrap-stuffed catnip toys. They are beyond excited to be back at the Santa Fe College Spring Arts Festival to share the warmth and coziness woven art can bring to a home.

Born in Tampa, Florida, Curtis Whitwam has spent his life immersed in the natural ecosystems of wild Florida. 

His artwork is mission driven as a way to inspire you to see the beauty of the natural spaces that surround us and be moved to protect them.  

Artistically, natural patterns are his focus. The shape of the roots,  the branches of the trees, schools of fish, or swirls on the waters’ surface anchor a moment. This feeling of presence is expressed in his artwork through a painting technique he uses to execute the layers of color and value that create the resonance of a place or experience. 

Throughout his career, he has expressed his creations through many mediums, watercolor being his current favorite. Curtis’ artwork has been recognized with awards from the Florida and American Watercolor Society as well as many awards at premier Fine Art Festivals including a Best in Show Award at the 2025 Santa Fe College Fine Art Festival.
