Tracey Metallic

Cultural Background: Mi’gmaq, Listuguj, in the territory of Gespe’gewagi, Quebec

A Mi’gmaq artist born and raised on the shores of the Restigouche River, Tracey Metallic’s talent found expression as a founding member of Pugwalesg, a Mi’gmaq women’s hand drum group. Tracey’s career in painting was launched as a therapeutic outlet, painting cartoon characters for her grandchildren. Upon sharing her work on social media Tracey began receiving requests for abstract paintings. These initial pieces evolved with confidence into her own designs.
When her brush touched the canvas a bright spark was lit. She connected immediately and has been creating ever since. Tracey’s artwork reflects much of her own journey in life and she believes that everyone is on their own journey looking to better their lives and to put everything they have experienced into retrospect.
Residing in her home community of Listuguj, in the territory of Gespe’gewagi, Tracey holds a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Social Work from St. Thomas University and a Masters of Social Work from Wilfred Laurier University.

Origine Culturelle: Mi’gmaq, Listuguj, sur le territoire de Gespe’gewagi, Québec

Artiste mi’gmaq, née et élevée sur les rives de la rivière Restigouche, le talent de Tracey Metallic s’exprime en tant que membre fondateur de Pugwalesg, un groupe de tambours à main de femmes mi’gmaq. La carrière de Tracey dans la peinture a été lancée comme un exutoire thérapeutique, où elle peignait des personnages de dessins animés pour ses petits-enfants. Après avoir partagé son travail sur les réseaux sociaux, Tracey a commencé à recevoir des demandes de peintures abstraites. Ces premières pièces ont évolué avec confiance vers ses propres créations.
Les œuvres de Tracey reflètent une grande partie de son propre cheminement dans la vie, et elle croit que chacun est sur son propre chemin, à la recherche d’améliorer sa vie et de remettre tout son vécu en rétrospective.
Résidant dans sa communauté natale de Listuguj, sur le territoire de Gespe’gewagi, Tracey détient un baccalauréat ès arts, et un baccalauréat en travail social de l’Université St. Thomas, ainsi qu’une maîtrise en travail social de l’Université Wilfred Laurier.
