Meet Tracy

After viewing the watercolors of Tracy Rose Moyers, one can come to learn and better understand the life and beliefs of Native Americans. The hardships and ordeals that the Native Americans have suffered in trying to maintain their culture and their spiritual life are captured in her paintings. Her studio/gallery is located in historic downtown New Market, Virginia.

During high school, Tracy studied at the Art Instruction School of Minneapolis, Minnesota. She received numerous awards ranging from the "Most Creative" to the "High Achievement in Art" as well as the "Excellence in Art" trophy. Moving to Denver, Colorado after graduation, Tracy attended the Rocky Mountain School of Art. She graduated with a degree in Commercial Art-Illustration and Graphics. After she returned to the Harrisonburg area, she began freelancing in the commercial art arena, all the while continuing her painting. She started "Tracy's Studio in the Woods", where she created signs, logo designs, illustrations and commissioned paintings. She also drew courtroom sketches for numerous television stations such as WHSV-TV 3 Harrisonburg, WSET-TV 13 Lynchburg and WWBT-TV 12 Richmond.

After she became pregnant with her first child, Tracy decided to concentrate on the fine art of watercolors in the Native American genre. Spending two summers on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona and a week with the Blackfoot tribe in Montana deepened Tracy's overall love and respect for the Native American Nation.

"Even if just one person who has never given much thought or much interest of the Native Americans is awakened by viewing my paintings...By seeing a different viewpoint...then I feel successful." states Tracy.

The John L. Clark Western Art Gallery in East Glacier Park, Montana and the Frame Factory & Gallery in Harrisonburg, VA Virginia both represent Tracy. She is a member of the Central Shenandoah Arts, Shenandoah Valley Watercolor Society, and Virginia Watercolor Society and associate member of the American Watercolor Society, Watercolor West, and American Academy of Women Artists. She regularly participates in art festivals, group show, Indian Pow Wows and juried exhibitions throughout the region. In 1998, Tracy's work was published in the book "New Art International" by Book Art Press of Woodstock, New York. In addition, several articles in local newspapers have been written about her work. Tracy's paintings can be found in private collections throughout the United States, England, Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Australia.

I am pleased to annouce that on Saturday, April 29, 2006, I got married to Dale Moyers. This is a second marriage for both of us and we both bring two boys into the marriage for a family of six. We were reunited after almost 28 years when we dated in high school and then again after I came back from going away to Art School. But then we just drifted away from each other. After we were both divorced from our first spouses, he found out (through my sister) that I was now divorced and available so he came into my gallery and asked me out. After that our relationship got real serious pretty fast and here we are - married. So from now on, I will be signing my paintings and going by the name of Tracy Rose Moyers and you will notice the website name change as well.
