Habitat for Humanity

To touch freedom we must first face and embrace our deepest fears.

Fears are born from shaken faith or self belief and it takes a great deal of courage to relinquish the control which we feel is our only protection from our fears - but when we do, no matter what the outcome, we discover a deeper innner strength and from there we can take the next step forward.
~ Tracie Koziura

About the Artist

Tracie Koziura has been exhibiting her art internationally since 2008. Her biggest passion is wolves which are the main subject of her work although she also enjoys creating a variety of other subjects including landscapes, portraits, wildlife and domestic animals. Specialising in pastels, charcoal and tinted graphite, Tracie's images are realistic, inviting the viewer to connect with the subjects character and inner spirit. Despite being a relative newcomer to the world of art her work has been described as sensitive, adventurous and alive.

"I love the freedom creating art gives me; to explore; to study; to learn about the world around me and all that exists within it. Art has opened my eyes to so many things I had taken for granted - unique subtleties I had been too busy to notice. When I paint, the world comes to a halt; the details of life come into focus. It is truly addictive, this desire to create!"
