Tracy Newman

Tracy has always been interested in wildlife and comes from farming family on the English/Welsh border near Monmouth. As a youngster he was encouraged to draw and paint and was inspired by the wildlife and nature around him.

He studied at Newport College of Art and then specialised in 2D Design and Visual Communications at Cardiff College of Art. For the next 35 years he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator in Hammersmith, London. in 2018 he moved back to Wales and has been involved with a number of Spanish wildlife companies, designing literature and corporate identities for the Andalusia Wildlife Guides, Worldwide Birding Tours; and also a wildlife guide with Sierra-Trek and Iberian Lynxland.

He is now pursuing his interests in painting and sculpture. Collaborating with his friend and Sculpture Oswaldo Mercher, together, they have been working on a number of projects while Tracy continues with his interest in digital drawing and painting. He currently has work in a number of galleries in Wales, Norfolk, and South east England. 2022 saw a joint exhibition with Oswaldo Mercher at the prestigious Global Birdfair in Rutland.

Tracy’s paintings are produced using a digital tablet and pen. Once finished they are sent off to a Giclee master printer using a state of the art x12 colour printer. Tracy then proofs and passes each print on press before they are signed and framed ( if requested ). each print is produced on a top quality fine art paper (350 gsm) and print runs are normally small (50 copies). Each has a Certificate of Authentication from the printer and the artist.
