About Tracy
Lefty Artist Sharing watercolor journey and art therapy
Tracy Truong is a 4th grade public school teacher living in San Francisco. When Tracy isn’t planning, teaching, or meeting with families, she is a watercolor artist by night. Her paintings range from still-life to mostly loose florals inspired by the beauty in her garden. Painting, for Tracy, has become a protected space of mindfulness and a practice in patience. Her technique is to accept the blooms and organic textures from watercolor to capture the calm, peace, and grace she perceives from nature. She enjoys using loose floral paintings and hand lettering art to create vibrant and attention-getting signs, cards, and home wall decor. The paintings bring her healing and beauty during the pandemic, and she hopes her art inspires her students and adults to feel motivated and encouraged to creatively express themselves.

Why Flowers: 1) They reduce stress, 2) They boost your mood, 3) And not just for Women. for Men, too! 4) They bolster your relationships. 😊 Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could maintain its elegance and admire it through art?
Learn how to paint flowers with watercolor on cards or postcards, with the option to send it to support any resident in care homes, or give to your loved ones for any occasion. Information on how to send the postcards to care homes will be given during the workshop.

The artists will guide you step by step on how to paint these beautiful floral cards. What's better than learning from the bests?
