"Hi, I'm Tracey Chaykin, an awardwinning Colored Pencil artist from Napa, California. For as long as I can recall, I've always felt the need to brighten my world with art. Every day brings new ways to work with the colored pencil medium. Some days it's a Colored Pencil on its own, sometimes combined with other mediums. Hyper-realistic artwork is my style of choice as it's ideal for preservation and conservation. It provides an opportunity for those unable to go and see wildlife in their natural habitats, a unique picture with my touches that allow someone to look and imagine as if they were there.
