About Tracey Ebbs

Tracey Ebbs is a relative latecomer to the art world. Having been told at school that she had no talent, Tracey abandoned all artistic pursuits for over 40 years.

That all changed in late 2022 when she accompanied her mother on a Beginners Watercolours class. There she fell in love with the medium and discovered a creative side she didn't know she had.

Since then she has been making up for lost time and has explored lots of different genres and mediums.

Although she still loves her watercolours, she has also introduced penwork in to her repertoire as she enjoys the intricate details and textures it can achieve.

Tracey's work reflects her passion for wildlife. She not only creates lifelike animal portraits but has also developed a unique style of whimsical wildlife illustrations that emphasise the quirky and fun side of life.

More recently, Tracey has discovered a love of urban sketching, combining intricate penwork with delicate watercolour washes to capture the character and charm of buildings and landmarks, both locally and internationally. From quaint country cottages and historic castles to iconic landmarks and much-loved buildings, her detailed sketches celebrate the unique architectural features and personalities of the places she depicts.

Tracey also welcomes commissions for bespoke pen and watercolour illustrations of buildings and special places. Whether it’s a cherished family home, a favourite holiday destination, a wedding venue or a building with sentimental significance, these personalised artworks make wonderful keepsakes and thoughtful gifts.

She lives in North Bucks and has exhibited widely across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire. She was delighted to be voted in the top 3 most popular artists at Thame Art Crawl in 2024.

Tracey was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2006 and firmly believes that her art is a significant factor in maintaining her physical and mental wellbeing.
