Tracey Lee Cassin Creative

Tracey Lee Cassin is a multi-award-winning published artist and photographer who is based in the beautiful lakeside community of Rotoma in the Bay Of Plenty of New Zealand.

Her creative practice is multifaceted as a painter, mixed media artist, writer, and photographer, with works in private collections in New Zealand, Australia, the USA,  United Kingdom, Scotland and Italy.

Her practice explores many artistic aspects, particularly the fundamentals of space, shape, and colour using various mediums, including oils, watercolour, ink, printmaking, collage, and acrylics.

The sculptural use of paint with a palette knife and spatula is a personal passion.

As an artistic photographer, she has a special interest in macro, digital manipulation, and the creation of inspirational quotation photography.

Her abstract and other contemporary subject matters are influenced by the patterns and colours found in nature, the ocean, the human face, lyrics and poetry.

Often hidden symbolism, hearts, numbers, spirals, and faces appear in her work. Sometimes intentional, sometimes not.

Contemporary seascapes feature prominently in her body of work.

Painted in oil or acrylic, they are birds-eye, abstract or viewed in a contemporary manner of being within the water looking back to the swell of the waves and horizon.

She creates passionate water images that capture the movement and beauty using combinations of colour, patterns, sand, rock, light, shadow and sky.

Emotions, energy and spirituality are the catalysts to all her paintwork.

She says; "There is very little desire for perfection or realism, just to place an infusion of strength, hope and courage into what I create. I offer the viewer of my work a portal to those feelings".

Tracey Lee is also the founder and creative director of 'Mia Bella Passions - Art, Home and Garden Blog', which she began in 2012 to share her love of creativity, DIY, design and decor.

Seascape commissions welcome.
