Australian Artist Tracey Creighton

Australian born artist Tracey Creighton knew early in life she was destined for a career in art. At the age of 16, she attended the Queensland College of Art and completed a 3 year Commercial Illustration Course.

Tracey went on to work as a graphic artist, and in 1982 established Queensland’s first private commercial art college in Brisbane, opening a branch on the Gold Coast in 1989.  

Fourteen years later, preparing for an impending move to America with her family, she decided it was time to sell her business.

Whilst living in Melbourne, prior to moving to California, Tracey Creighton began oil painting classes with Ron Reynolds at the Doncaster Templestowe Art Society.

It bought about a whole new direction in her artistic life.  After arriving in the United States, having now discovered a love for painting, she promptly enrolled in classes at the local community college in Orange County and trained with a prominent contemporary artist, Chris Gwaltney.  

Tracey's first exhibition was in Newport Beach, California which was a culmination of 27 oil paintings completed during the 6 months she resided in America.  

Since returning to Australia in 1998, Tracey has held a number of exhibitions including one on Hamilton Island, where she was invited to teach art classes to guests at the resort.

Tracey works from her gallery, Boardwalkart in Merimbula on the Far South Coast of New South Wales where she paints daily and opens her gallery to the public weekly.

Tracey continues to develop her style and technique, exploring the unlimited capabilities of oils, acrylic, watercolour and mixed medium.  Whatever the subject, each painting reflects a vibrant kaleidoscope of colour ensuring every canvas comes to life in its own unique way.  

You are invited to take her Gallery Tour and view the artwork in her Portfolio. Commissioned work is happily considered should you be interested in having a painting created especially for your home or corporate environment.
