Originally from a large metropolitan area, Tracey Hewitt married a rancher and, like Lisa Douglas in Green Acres, said goodbye to city life.
But she never said goodbye to her art.
I wanted to talk with Tracey because every encounter I have ever had with her as a member of our Art Biz Success community has been positive. She is funny, warm, and generous. And she knows how to live life to its fullest.
Tracey helps run the family cattle business in the Australian bush, which takes up a good hunk of her time. (I had to look up bush to make sure I was using it properly. We in the States would probably call it farmland or the middle of nowhere.)
Aside from her duties on the ranch, Tracey is and always has been an artist, though the label of “artist” wasn’t easy for her to adopt—a hurdle I have discovered many artists must overcome.

Today, through her teaching and life coaching practices, Tracey helps other artists get comfortable with their creativity and, if they like, with calling themselves artists. I hope you are inspired by her optimism.
