Life Grows On

Inspired by a palm photographed during travels in Saigon, this vibrant large format foliage painting will bring any interior to life.

Painted in a hyper-real Pop Art style, Tracey’s technique involves many painstaking hours of layering to achieve a 3D effect with movement. Note the optical illusion on the leaf at the right of painting; stare at it long enough and the leaf will turn inside out.

Tracey’s art is popular with interior designers, and has featured in coastal homes, resort properties and art union prize homes..

Greenery is a safe choice as it goes with any colour scheme.

Themes: personal growth, overcoming setbacks, life goes on
