Tracy Hartley Collection

Born in the back of a microbus in 1962, Tracy spent his early years traveling with his parents throughout the Southeast with the renowned Gizmo Ismorados Traveling Circus. In Tracy's words " .. then, when I was old enough, I learned to be a human cannonball. Then because of a mix up over some Mexican jumping beans and some girls from Aspen, I ended up in trouble. After that, I went straight and taught myself to paint and make furniture which I have done for the last 23 years." 

Tracy's work is a reflection of his life is so many ways- always colorful, fun and very alive. His art is full of mixed media, bright colors, great frames, lots of texture and always has a story.
