Tracee Vetting Wolf
I am a Minnesota-based, mixed-media artist and a designer. My small-format art are often bits of stories left to be completed by the beholder. The art is nurturing and intimate, intended to trigger personal reflection and connection.
About my art
My daily creative practice is my art. Since 2011, I have set aside 30 minutes each morning to make a small piece of art for my son’s lunch box. My small-format art started out with light-hearted children’s themes and has grown to include mindfulness themes. I enjoy working with a broad range of media.
My daily practice
Weekdays, I wake at 6 am and after some celery juice and a shower, I take 30 minutes to make a piece of small-format art. Most of the time I don’t have any idea what I will make. It’s incredibly powerful, creative opportunity to give myself every day.
Where I make art
Usually my dining room table.
What being an artist has taught me
Failure is an opportunity. It has taught me creative resilience.
Where I get creative energy
Both solitude and being around creative people. Being around others who acknowledge and practice creative expression and possibility is empowering to me.
