A known philanthropist who engages in supporting Australian charities, the Shine collection release event did play a part in raising funds for Destiny Rescue, a charity Tracie is an ambassador for. “My art, my creativity , is a vehicle to not only bring joy and beauty into the lives of those who view my work, but to also create change by donating funds from every piece sold, to Destiny Rescue. Destiny Rescue is committed to eradicating sexual exploitation and trafficking of children globally. And I am humbled to be able to help provide them, through art, what they need to continue their work. Every event I do showcases this important organisation as much as it showcases my work. Investment in my art is an investment into a child’s future” says Tracie Eaton.
Tracie Eaton has been an artist for over 15 years. Her self-taught expressive style, combined with her unique understanding of how colour makes us feel (following her training in Occupational Therapy and Colour Psychology) ensures Tracie’s artworks are emotive and passionate.
