About Tracey

Tracey Sims is an award winning artist with over 30 years experience. Her painting skills have enabled her to create a unique style combining the features of fine art and decorative painting. Her elegantly patterned and textured backgrounds enhance the richly coloured flora, fauna and still life elements which feature in Tracey's artwork. 

As a respected teacher of art, Tracey has been conducting classes and workshops for over 20 years. She has travelled extensively throughout Australia conducting workshops in oil, acrylic and watercolour . Tracey has also taught in England, Ireland, the US, Singapore and New Zealand.

Her paintings have been sold both within Australia and overseas to private collectors and corporate buyers.

Tracey has written seven decorative painting books, four of which were published in Australia and three in America. She has also written many articles and projects for painting magazines in Australia and the U.S.

In 2008, Tracey was one of three Australian artists commissioned to paint a project for the Decorative Arts Collection Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. She has also designed for Painted Planet Licensing Group in the US and is a senior supporting artist for Chroma Australia in their Teacher and Artists Partner Programme. 

Tracey has combined her passion for painting and patchwork by creating a beautiful collection of fine art prints on fabric. The range includes flora and fauna designs that can be used as features in a variety of projects. The fabric prints are also ideal for embellishment with beading and embroidery. These prints are available for purchase individually or as part of a kit. Kits include both the instructions and the relevant fine art fabric prints. Several of Tracey’s quilts have been featured in  Patchwork & Quilting magazines.
