Tracie Rozario:
The Secret Side of Purple
-33-
Interview by Andrea Melione
Tracie Rozario is best described as “Purple,” with all of the feelings
and concepts this powerful color can evoke. She is mystical, fun, and
bohemian with a true gypsy soul. Her fantasy work has both a light and
dark side. She is the queen of her artistic domain and her confident pencil
technique, ability in the altered arts and mixed media realms makes her
a truly versatile artist. She is the owner of MailArtWorld.com, where she
works as administrator and member of the Art Panel.
Tell us a little about yourself.
Tracie: I live on the sunny West Coast of Australia in the Perth Swan
Valley with my husband, 3 children, 2 dogs and 2 cats. My hubby runs our
family business while I take on the job of Domestic Engineer. When I’m
not chasing the kids or looking after the household, I can usually be found
doing something creative. I find it to be a little bit of ‘me’ time in my crazy
and hectic days. That being said, most of my ‘me/creative’ time usually
occurs between the hours of 9pm and 1am.
My friends say I’m a little bit crazy (hopefully in a good way!) and somewhat
of a hippie. The hippie part mostly comes from my dress style, I’d imagine,
and that I am somewhat ethereal in nature. I love the fantasy realm and
would say that is the theme I am most comfortable with. I am also quite
infamous for my love (or crazy addiction) to the color purple.
I am always trying new things and love the challenge of learning something
new or pushing myself to create in a different way. So I often end up
with more than one project on the go at once. I dabble in many areas:
Parchment Craft, Encaustic Art, Jewelry–Making, and, more recently,
Fused Glass, just to name a few.
