Ann Tracy (b. 1964, Massachusetts) is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, mixed media installation, video, poetry, and fiction. Since 1988, she has also been an influential adjunct professor, spiritual teacher, and healer, inspiring others to navigate and transform the gray areas of their own lives.
Tracy situates herself within the lineage of mystic artists such as William Blake, Emma Kunz, Rudolf Steiner, Carl Jung, and Joseph Beuys, while finding formal alignment with Philip Guston and Piero della Francesca. Her work explores the field of experience illuminated by primal divine energy, creating forms that engage universal themes through a non-hierarchical framework. She works both independently in her studio and collaboratively with groups, extending her inquiry into shared creative processes.
She is the recipient of the Nan Travel Award and the Blanche E. Coleman Award (Mellon Foundation), and has held a fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center. In recognition of her teaching, she was nominated for the Endowed Teaching Chair Award at Broward Community College. Her work has been widely exhibited in Boston, Miami, and New York City.
Tracy recently relocated from Brooklyn, New York, to Zurich, Switzerland, and divides her time between her studio there and the forests of Tuscany, Italy, near Siena and Florence.
