".....and a little something else" by Tracey-Anne Pryke

Tracey-Anne has painted and sketched all her life. She produces a range of work in widely differing styles but all with the vibrancy that a mother of three young children can exhibit when she wins a “get out of jail free card” from her maternal responsibilities! Her thirst for colour, art and food lead her live in Spain for several years where she was able to indulge her desires not only to eat and drink but also to draw and paint. Now living locally her inspiration is not only the seascape and the countryside around her but her love of flowers and organic food which has lead her to capture images of these items in different media on paper, canvas and clothing.

Observations by Gordon Fowler

Born in Manchester, moved to Cornwall then lived in Canterbury city centre for 30 years. A well travelled eccentric who never followed a conventional career, a prolific painter, sculptor, writer and raconteur whose play "Fall in Corporal Moyes" was perfomed in covent Garden "He had about him the qualities of Whistler and would have enjoyed the company of Degas and the milieu of fin-de-siecle, Paris. Sickert and the painters of the Camden Town Group were also to his taste and often with wistful look and eloquent rhetoric, he would conjure up some scene or other where all these great names would be acting out their part."
