Tracey Berglund – Illustrator Saturday

Last Weekend Tracey wrote and article about her trip to BEA.  I wanted to share a few more pieces of her artwork and give you a sneak peak of the picture book she is working on.  But first a little bit about Tracey:

Tracey Berglund is a native Brooklynite whose latest watercolors of Brooklyn and New York City emerged unexpectedly from her recent return to the Park Slope/Gowanus area of Brooklyn.

Her career as an illustrator, artist, teacher and designer has taken her to London, Stockholm, Rio and Cape Town where she has also resided. Always inspired by her surroundings, Tracey’s latest works embrace the renaissance which Brooklyn is presently undergoing and the diverse communities thriving within it.

Tracey’s preferred medium is watercolor dyes and ink. She appreciates the spontaneity. vivid color, and transparent qualities of the medium as well as it’s ability to convey the lively energy of the scenes she depicts from real life.

Her commercial clients include:The Gap, The Food Network, Nokia, Nickelodeon, Virgin Atlantic, IBM, VH1, Target, Intel and the US Departments of Energy and Education.

Tracey has also worked extensively with non-profits as an art and language teacher most recently in Cape Town and also through IBM.Tracey K. Berglund
