Youth Pride Durham Welcomes Artist Tracy Davidson
Tracy from Pink Brushes will be preparing a beautiful backdrop of wings that can be used for photos.
A little bit about Tracy:
I’m an artist with a focus on inclusivity and acceptance. I enjoy painting in vibrant colors and being mindful of reflecting my community in my artwork.
I’ve had the privilege of painting for numerous small businesses, various levels of government, Cancer Care, food banks, soup kitchens, to even painting for Rexall at Church and Wellesley for Pride 2023.
I like to joke that I can paint on anything it’ll stick to. This includes walls, windows, mirrors, roads, parking spots, crosswalks, boards, canvas, picnic tables. I like to leave the world a little more colorful each day.
