I'm Tracy W. Reese and I have been artistically inclined from a young age. From those early years, my life began to paint some painful hues. As a daughter of a drug-addicted father, unwed teenage mother, a survivor of domestic abuse, divorced parents and a myriad of other painful hues that forced my talents and passions to the background. Over 15 years ago, I was prompted to pick up painting. It was a way to break out the routines of being a wife, mother and employee, and process through the trauma of my past. I found the creative process to be both therapeutic and empowering, especially after a painful divorce and a lay off from an eighteen-year career. As a result, it is now my mission to help others use creative expression as a path towards emotional wellness and to cultivate authenticity; primarily through personal/group coaching, speaking, workshops, and paint parties.
