Tracy Ferron

Artist Tracy Ferron focuses on the healing power of public and community art. Her Life on Earth Art project explores social injustice and the healing of trauma through art-making workshops and multi-media interactive art installations. Tracy works with the symbology of winged hearts and cages to explore human rights and issues of imprisonment and liberation in our society. The goal is to amplify compassion, for self, for others and the planet. Her activist and expressive arts workshops inspire connectivity, resilience and transformation. Life on Earth Art currently has three large caged heart installations to tour and over 100 winged hearts that range in size from 3 ft to 15 ft. In the accompanying workshops, groups explore issues of social justice and personal healing as they make paper mâché winged hearts together. Tracy founded Pagan Baby, her multimedia arts production company, dedicated to creating art that promotes a paradigm of love over fear.

Our current cultural narrative is driven by greed, hierarchy and fear and I am passionate about working to shift this to a world story based on interdependence, kindness and love. We face an epidemic of loneliness, disconnection and brutality and I'm passionate about counteracting that with the healing of personal and cultural trauma through art, social connection and activism.
