Working for 40 years and teaching since 1999 in both the fashion and costume disciplines continues to develop Tracy’s visual perceptions and draftsmanship in depicting the figure and costume. Her belief that two dimensional drawing and rendering for clothing is a key designer skill informs her research and practice.
Teaching at various schools and privately helps Tracy to develop lessons based on the physical dexterity required for illustration. Exposure to all kinds of drawing tools and drawing styles enables her students to discover their personal expression.Teaching creativity keeps Tracy engaged and fascinated with the mercurial nature of fashion and illustration.

Tracey went from graduating in Fashion Design at RMIT directly to work in the Fashion Industry as an in-demand Designer for numerous Australian Manufacturers: attending the Frankfurt, Paris & New York shows designing for major Australian Retailers. A decade later, wishing to share her skills and experience, she then moved into the Education field starting with a Graduate Diploma in Education from Melbourne University, and has been a dedicated teacher since. Skilled in developing and interpreting ideas using a range of fashion related media, she enjoys assisting and inspiring students to achieve their own artistic expression in Fashion.
Tracey believes that working with passionate students looking to explore their potential is immensely rewarding. Guiding students in the development of their knowledge and refinement of their skills to move them forward in the direction they desire is her focus and passion as a teacher.
