Art and Wine Auction-Tracy Leagjeld
Lupine Meadow by Tracy Leagjeld
Tracy Leagjeld was born and raised in Central Oregon. “My art is a way to communicate and share with others my love and reverence for nature. Forests, meadows and deserts all have a different kind of energy. I am not so concerned with capturing correct shape and color. I strive to create paintings that allow the viewer to put themselves into the painting and feel the spirit of the place.”
What is A Monotype? A monotype is a painting on paper whereby an original image is inked or painted onto a non-porous surface, such as a piece of plexiglass (called a plate), then transferred onto paper by laying a piece of paper over the painted surface and applying pressure. Typically a printing press is used although she hand “pulls” her prints meaning she doesn’t use a press. She applies pressure by hand until the ink it transferred to the paper (lots of elbow grease). A monotype is a unique work of art, and like a painting, cannot be replicated. Tracy has a blog, which you can visit here.
You can bid on Tracy’s piece and others at the 18th Annual Art and Wine Auction May 7th. For more information, visit Deschutes Children’s Foundation.
