Encaustic on Okawara paper Edition: Unique, Unframed Adams works on panel and paper, using a mixture of paint, encaustic and graphite as well as elements of monotype and collage. Her background in music is what most inspires Tracey Adams. Her works draw heavily on musical structure, rhythm and composition. Her color choices speak to her personal surroundings living on a peninsula near Monterrey in central California. The light off of the water, the muting capacity of the fog, the colors of the setting sun and the palette of the lush local flora all find their way into her work.
