"The Forest as Frida" is an original painting of Frida Kahlo, incorporating oil paints, acrylic paints, paper, collage and pencil to create layers of color and movement.
Tracey Hope-Ross is a self-taught, middle-aged artist working from her cozy New England studio—usually after the kids and cats are tucked in for the night. Her figurative abstract paintings begin with vintage black-and-white photographs of women, layered with oil and acrylic paint to create soulful, whimsical portraits infused with memory, nature, and quiet magic.
Tracey’s work explores the deep-rooted connection between women, the natural world, and the generational wisdom passed down through time. Each piece honors the “Mother Tree” within us all—the protector, the nurturer, the keeper of stories—and invites viewers to lose themselves in a world where grace and gravity, vulnerability and joy coexist.
Inspired by nature scientists, Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe, and the freedom of modern collage, Tracey creates scenes that feel emotionally resonant and spiritually light. She believes art reflects our soul’s intentions and the energy we offer the world. Her work is an offering—a place to pause, to feel, and maybe even to find a little clarity in the chaos.

Thanks for Being Here
I am Tracey Hope-Ross — Menopausal Gen Xer, Mom of two, Green Witch, artist, and woman who followed her rage like a thread and ended up here.
Find Your Magic exists for everyone who has ever been told to smile more, shrink herself, or soften her edges. I built it to uplift small makers and artists who are creating things that tell the truth — and to build a community of women who know the rage of age is not a problem to fix but a map to follow.
Find your rage. Find your magic.
