Biography

Tracey Quinn was born in Lisburn, Ireland and lives and works in Dublin.

She studied in Leicester, England and Orléans, France, and holds a Honours Degree in Fine Art. Her first solo exhibition was held at Kerlin Gallery in Belfast in 1989.

Tracey Quinn was awarded travel and material grants from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and the Arts Council of Ireland. Her main concerns are light, colour, atmosphere and time, simplification of form and loose brush work using oils on canvas.

She sources her inspiration from the Irish landscape, the ever-changing skies that cast shadows on distant fields, and tries to create an atmosphere or impression rather than a literal translation.
