Craig Anthony Tracy was born on May 22nd, 1967 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He started painting at the age of fifteen when he received an airbrush as a gift from his parents. Tracy attended The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where he graduated in 1987, and started his professional career as a freelance illustrator creating industrial and commercial imagery. He retired from illustrating in 1993 and began focusing on the art of bodypainting. In the early 2000s Tracy exhibited his artworks in The Nature Series, his first series of bodypainting images. They brought him international attention, and he was the recipient of the World Award in the airbrush category at the World Bodypainting Festival in Klagenfurt, Austria in 2005. In 2006 Tracy established the PaintedAlive Gallery in the French Quarter of New Orleans, the first gallery in the world dedicated solely to the fine art of bodypainting. In 2009 the gallery was renamed to the Craig Tracy Gallery to better clarify that it houses and sells his personal works, as other artists had begun to capitalize on his style and move into the area. His technique of combining traditional paintbrushing and finger-painting with modern airbrushing is still unparalleled, and he eschews digital touchups or influences as much as possible. Many of Tracy’s artworks includes manual creation of backdrop which complements the required visual, sometimes crafting a camouflage effect. Tracy has stated that his primary influences are artists like Norman Rockwell, M.C. Escher, Robert Mapplethorpe, and H.R. Giger. Tracy has also served as the judge, producer, and the Bodypainting Guru of Skin Wars since it began airing on television in 2014. He has also judged the U.S. bodypainting competition Living Art America and helped organize the New York Bodypainting day. His work has been commissioned for numerous companies including the New Orleans Saints, Fiat, and Coca-Cola. Additionally, he and his work have been featured in numerous books including Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: Strikingly True, The Human Canvas: The World’s Best Bodypaintings as well as his self-authored Painted Alive: The Fine Art of Bodypainting.
