background information on Cornwall artist Trace Goldsmith

Trace Goldsmith and her use of colour. Introduction. I first discovered Traces' work when I went on a family break to Cornwall. One day we took a trip to a small fishing village called, St.Mawes. Here I discovered 'The Picture House,' this was a tiny gallery shop. As soon as I walked in, nothing else caught my attention more than this painting by Trace Goldsmith. The only word I could can use to describe my thoughts and feelings at that point, is, 'Bliss.'

 I couldn't believe that a painting could make me feel so calm, happy and atmospheric. It was the best thing I had ever seen, it was magical, a painting that sparks a chemical reaction, that makes you feel immediate happiness. Abbie Stokes, Gloucestershire
