Artist Bio
Tracy Lévesque’s work is truly a celebration of life.
A vegan, a nature enthusiast and an animal rights advocate for over 20 years, Lévesque’s chromatic paintings are a life-long love affair with nature and a tribute to the incredible world we live in.
Born in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, Lévesque spent her early years immersed in the beauty of this breathtaking rural countryside. Now, working as a full time artist and traveling up and down the east coast every year for exhibits and shows, she finds her inspiration anywhere nature can be found.
A self-taught artist, Lévesque started out as a realistic painter but quickly abandoned realism for an expressionist style that spoke more to the spiritual realities of human existence rather than the more conventional everyday realities of it. Using color as the trigger for emotion, texture for visceral response and line as the conductor of cognitive process, Lévesque’s work attempts to mimic the reaction we have when we are actually physically out in nature, enveloped by the beauty and awe that the natural world evokes. She calls this unique style she has created Fairytale Realism.
Lévesque studied Graphic Design and Japanese printmaking at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA and received a double BA in Theater Arts and English and American Literature from Brandeis University in Waltham, MA.
