Primarily,
the paintings of artist Tracey Anthony are created with acrylics
and oils on canvas and wood. However; such mediums as oil sticks,
latex paint and enamel paint are also employed. Furthermore, various
old drawings and paintings are sometimes collaged into, or onto
a new and original piece of artwork. And to push the pieces even
further items like nails, speaker wire, plexiglass, resin epoxy,
and wood can be found within the work.
Visual
exploration and medium experimentation is a main focus while subject
matter ranges from Native American mythology and lore, to contemporary
Native issues and ideas. The stories and ways of the Iroquois
and Anishinabe comprise the majority of the paintings intent.
Delaware (Lenape) culture is also explored and presented.
The
artists' work can be found in the collections of the Woodland
Cultural Centre, Brantford, Ontario; Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto,
