Tracy Lynn Pristas creates large-scale abstract landscape paintings that will bring your walls to life. She derives her visual information and enthusiasm from nature, then departs into abstraction. A celebration of the painting materials for their own sake is a primary factor in one of her luxurious textured original oil painting. Tracy uses only the highest quality pigments to achieve her distinct surface manipulation techniques. Her paintings have been featured on Lifetime TV, hit series "Drop Dead Diva," and the blockbuster movie, "The Breakup." In addition to being a professional artist she is a certified yoga instructor and certified Reiki practitioner. Reiki is a Japanese system for channeling universal life force energy to someone or something for the purpose of healing. The influence of these two practices contribute to the tranquility and balance experienced in her abstract landscape paintings. An important factor as to why her original oils have been commissioned through art consultants for both health care & corporate, permanent collections and purchased by private art collectors. "I am proud to say my husband and I are long-time collectors of Tracy Lynn Pristas’s work. We love the spirit and beauty she portrays on canvas. I feel better looking at her paintings I’ve been fortunate to own and wistfully view those that are out there awaiting other owners. Her paintings bring me home." - Mr & Mrs Cheffings - Chicago, IL
