A wife and a mother of four kids, our “Colour Me Bold” artist Megan Tracy is also a full time photographer.

What inspires your art?

I think that I am most inspired by nature. The ocean, flowers, the sky would be my main, but color combinations could also come from music, fashion, interiors and other areas of design that I love.

What medium and technique do you use?

I use resin with acrylic and alcohol inks.

Walk us through your process of creating a piece.

When I start a piece, believe it or not it begins with music. Whatever vibe I’m feeling that day, I pick a playlist. Lay out my materials and off we go. I create. Sometimes there’s a plan in my head, sometimes it just goes wherever it goes.

How did you start out as an artist?

I’m a photographer full time, so creating this type of art was really just exchanging people for acrylic and resin.

Do you use bold colours for a specific reason?

I love color. I do have my “go to“ colors, although most of them are usually bold color selections.
