Tracey Finch is drawn to the quiet beauty of everyday moments—the ones we often rush past or overlook. These small, fleeting scenes that can hold so much emotion and meaning when we pause long enough to notice them.
Through her art, she explores memory, human connection, and our relationship with the world around us. Tracey is interested in how we carry experiences, how we share silence, how we find comfort in the familiar. Whether it’s a landscape, a figure, or something seemingly mundane, she wants her work to invite connection—and provide a gentle reminder that there is richness in the ordinary and tenderness in the details.
“Ultimately, my practice is about honouring those deeply human moments—the quiet ones, the ordinary ones, the ones between words—and offering a visual space where people can breathe, remember, and feel.”
Tracey is also part of a small team of artists who brought the first BOP Open Studios art trail to life in Feb 2024, connecting artists with local art lovers across the region.
