Welcome to Radio Toni this is Art you Deserve with Tracie Eaton. This is the next in our show series with international modern artist Tracie Eaton. I am incredibly lucky to have this talented lady on our show and excited about the creative processes we have been exploring – each week showing you the progress of our commissioned artwork.

Here’s what you need to know about Tracie Eaton.

Tracie Eaton is an Australian modern artist. Born in NZ Tracie has made Australia her home since 2006 and has since become one of Australia’s most highly coveted artists and her work is in demand in Australia and around the globe. Her exclusive commission to create artworks for nominees at the academy awards for the last 3 years has secured Tracie Eaton as an inspirational Australian artist.

Investing in a piece of artwork is a big decision. Your new painting is something you should LOVE. Tracie is passionate about ensuring that when you commission her to paint you an artwork, series of artworks of a large artwork project, that it becomes not only a statement, but a reflection of you. Something you can tell the story of. Something resonates with you or your brand. Something that is a part of your journey. Later in the show we will be unveiling the next stage of our commissioned artwork.

Welcome to the show Tracie, I’m so delighted to be embarking on this little creative journey with you. This week we are going to ne talking about the business of art and the commissioning process.

Welcome back to the show Tracie, I love our time together on the show and its such an enormous privilege to chat to you and explore the wonderful would of art.

Last week we spoke about the Business of Art, and we wanted to continue on with an expansion around what its like to build a business from your passion for ART and what that looks like from the expertise of Tracie’s perspective. Just a reminder that Tracie has lived and breathed corporate sales and marketing at an international level BEFORE embarking on her creative journey, so when you engage Tracie to create for you as an individual or as a company, corporation or business your get the added advantage of experience. Lets start with your own brand and colours Tracie – black and white, set up of website, clear images, gold highlights, accents and lettering,

Brand colours, psychology of colours, investment in branding, mission, vision and the energy of colour in terms of staff and clients. Tracie interprets the energy of the business or individual and puts it into her creations.

Examples to discuss and explore – The ruby collection – 1600 room tourist resort development over 4 years on the Gold Coast, letting the energy of the art create the space, destination is also art gallery, sense of fun, vibrancy and energy and reinforce awesome experiences for guests, original artworks for each floor elevator foyer and print reproductions for all corridors, rooms and common areas, changing the artwork refreshes the room and gives it a new look without a total makeover

Google break out rooms and colours, Googolplex – teamwork and creativity, workforce creativity, glass and light filled, balance, colour and productivity, relaxing areas and google pods and google coloured bikes

Night market work and the interaction between vision, mission, colour and anchor points, psychology of images and how they make us feel, BDSM mannequin, energy of the space, food and eating spaces,

Ray White Real Estate – energetic, modern, business progression. Branding of Ray White – meeting room placement

Fishtank Restoration – in home work - beautiful waterfront property with high ceilings and lots of natural light. In the centre of their home is a large wall that houses a significant sized fish tank. The tank itself is lovely, however Tracie’s clients did want to get rid of the brown wall that surrounded the tank. And so began conversations about what options there was available to them to turn the entire wall into a statement piece of it’s own. The neutral wall colour provided a great background for a burst of ocean colours. Incorporating red tones into the base of the artwork was essential to seamlessly bring in the red leather lounge suite in the same room as this wall.

The progress of the commissioned art work you are and co creating for the show…15 minutes at the end of each show we will show the progress so that the audience get to experience the wonder of creation…
