Tracey Miller Art

I’m a trained art teacher with many years of classroom experience, and for the past 11 years I’ve been teaching from the Bowral Art Gallery Studios (BDAS). While I’ve taught all ages — from preschool through to HSC students — my passion later in life has been working with adults in the community, including complete beginners and those returning to art after retirement.My own art practice is varied and experimental. I work with acrylic paint on canvas, ink on yupo, lino-cut printmaking, and sketching, and I have a particular love for the tactility and expressive possibilities of charcoal. That hands-on understanding of materials flows directly into my teaching.I run weekly art classes that usually span 8–10 weeks each term, as well as weekend workshops throughout the year. My classes are supportive, practical, and skill-building, with a strong focus on helping students understand materials and techniques in a clear, achievable way.Nothing gives me more joy than hearing someone arrive saying, “I can’t even draw a stick figure, ” and then, just a few weeks later, seeing their confidence grow as they realise what they’re capable of creating. Helping people achieve their artistic ambitions — often far beyond what they thought possible — is the most rewarding part of my work.Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to deepen your skills, you’ll find my classes encouraging, friendly, and focused on real progress.
