These are the feelings of the spiky shapes of the bottlebrush plant. It reminds me of home and I have a knack for finding bottlebrush trees whenever I go on holiday to a warm country and I take a photo pointing at the bottlebrush like the lovestruck tourist that I really am. I had been trying to grow one in a pot in London and after 4 years, it seemed to finally be ready to flower, then all of a sudden it died! So this is me remembering the bottlebrush and the hope I had for it, I am sure I will find plenty more to photograph, and I might buy another to try again for my little piece of home in London. The rounded shape on the left hand is like the middle of another Australian plant which we don’t see here, but the rounded shapes feel so luxurious and special, I needed to add gold oil pastel to show how special it feels.

Tracey Paterson is a British Australian artist, based in London. She grew up in Sydney and has lived in Canada, New Zealand, and now the UK for 14 years. For Tracey, the connection and constant translation between where she is from the different cultures and countries she has lived in are a big part of her work. Tracey loves the small details of life and the quirky things that not everyone notices. Trying to understand and make sense of these contrasts is something that comes up in her work a lot. Her colourful palette is bright and vivid and expressive, and she chooses to present her art with bold colours and textures. The colours are chosen not to represent true life, but to express how Tracey feels about the energy and memories evoked by what she is painting. Her technique is intuitive and does not necessarily follow the conventions and rules, but this is the way she is most able to tell the stories she wants her work to tell. I am not able to answer why I paint, it’s more a question of how could I not paint. I use painting to process a lot of things, from trying to understand how life works in my adopted home, or noticing the differences and documenting so many things that I still struggle to make sense of even after living in the UK for so long. I use painting to process the joy and colours I observe day to day, missing home, missing people and grief, feeling displaced or vivid memories from home that feel very different from the life I observe here. Or just my feelings about my life and what I notice. I create artwork that expresses how I feel and I want my work to be joyous and uplifting. Sometimes it is about reframing how I feel, in the grey dark days I want to paint brighter and wilder to lift my spirits and remember the brighter days that I know are coming soon. I want anyone looking at my work to feel that energy and feel uplifted and energised too.
