Tracy Clinkscales

I was born in the early 1940s in Pocatello, Idaho, and raised in beautiful Oregon. I have had far too many occupations in far too many countries around this old rock to talk about here. I have been able to study first hand the primitive art of native tribes in Australia and New Guinea as well as other media forms. I use oil on canvas because it offers greater flexibility and forgiveness even though it requires a greater time commitment.

All of my life I have been an avid lover and observer of nature in all its strength, fragility and mystery. My hope is that my painted landscapes will transport the viewer beyond the painted scene to a sense of the place itself and to a feeling of serenity.
