Tracy Bultje

The natural world is a space of immersion, conversation and resolution. I am drawn into the chaos of converging shape and colour, residing there in moments of contemplation. The dialogue between streams of light and the murky, dark places parallel the struggles that distress so much of our lives. The natural world collides with the spiritual world. Through a lens of faith and hope, I make sense of the chaos and arrive into a testament of order.

I present a resolution in the form of a landscape imbued with poetic metaphors for the human condition. Colour is my voice. Patterns that emerge demonstrate the refinement of chaos into order. My painting represents an idealized form of the natural world seen through a filter of culture and beliefs.
