Tracy Stirzaker

Sydney based artist Tracy Stirzaker sees herself as an observer and critic of contemporary Australian society and is inspired by her lived experience as a sensitive woman, mother and carer. Employing painting and textiles techniques, Stirzaker uses the repetition of motifs in her artwork to explore the emotional body within the everyday constraints of social politics, cultural values and beliefs. A finalist in both the Hunters Hill and the Ravenswood Women’s Art Prizes in 2018, Stirzaker had her first solo show at Gallery Lane Cove in 2018 and her 2nd solo show in 2019 at White Rhino Artspace, a gallery she cofounded and directed in St Leonards. Awarded a Willoughby City Council Arts & Culture grant Stirzaker’s third solo show More Myself: A Journey of Self Love was in 2022 and included a panel discussion on the Journey of Self-Love, Self-Worth and Creativity.
