The Stories Art Series

Communities and culture are shaped by the sharing of stories. Moments in time, passed on through the generations through story-telling. And through the sharing of imagery.

Tracie Eaton is proud to present her latest artwork collection - 'The Stories'. An exhibition of hope, triumph and new beginnings.

Over a 2 year period, Tracie has interviewed people from around the globe, who have openly shared their own unique life stories. Journeys that have seen great joy, great sorrow and immense pain. Each one sharing experiences that remind us all of the incredible resilience we all have, and how necessary - instinctively even, that we look for ways to find, and fill our lives with joy. That we can all begin again, and build a triumphant live. One with abundance of happiness, love, forgiveness and freedom.

After careful curation, Tracie chose 15 of these life stories to become the inspiration for a painting. These paintings, along with a painting that shares her own life journey, have become 'The Stories' collection. Each of the 16 paintings you will experience during 'The Stories' exhibition showcases aspects of darker times and life challenging experiences. Yet all represent triumph, hope and are a celebration of each of each participants journey to create their life of choosing.

To encourage community involvement, 'The Stories' exhibition will take place over a 7 day period, across multiple events in two different locations. This series of events ensure that, for the first time, you can engage with Tracie Eaton and her artworks in the manner and time that suits you.
