Rose Petals Past - The Art of Vintage Romance

Artist Tracey White. "..... to Beautify the Place of my Sanctuary" My inspiration for beautiful artwork on canvas and art journals. Mixed media, texture, layers, flourishes, stamping and stenciling, inks, lots of hand painted roses, heartfelt wording, vintage themes, and distressed effects are techniques that I love to work with. Art Workshops at my studio in Springfield and also at Bella Paperie, Brendale. My Hope is that Art, May Truly Beautify your Soul.
