Tracy Vine - Post-Modern Urban Artist. S1 E12 (podcast)

I met Tracy Vine when I was finishing my degree at Writtle University College, the area where we studied was then called Writtle School of Design. It was an unusual set-up, three years all in one large classroom, but it worked!

Since I've known Tracy it has become clear that she has found her forte in life and has grown from strength to strength. After leaving with a 1st class Digital, Fine Art and Design degree she went on to do a Masters in Art Research and from there has worked on several art/photography projects working with local charities and school children. Something that she has done, which was quite unexpected, is designing public art installations and she is working on a new one now. Enjoy the podcast which has plenty of tips for art students.

Tracy was a finalist for Rankin's 'World Photography Project'. Out of 72,000 she was in the top 6 under the category for 'Fun'.

With the mission to provide an online space for Basildon's creative individuals, groups and organisations who are either born, living, working in or making work about the Basildon Borough. Their hope is to connect local creatives which in turn will generate activity, collaboration and to help support a cohesive arts ecology. There are currently six Bas-Arts-Index members in the working party. This consists of Ben Stewart, Anthony Marriage, Laura Whiting, Aaron Shrimpton, Maxine Newell and Shaun Badham. The members w

Up there with Tom King former Chief Features Writer for Echo Newspapers and Vin Harrop, Arts Champion and of course Kenneth Porter, author and Chairman of Basildon Heritage in the Green Centre at Wat Tyler.
