Fine Art nominee

We all need an escape from reality now and then. A “head in the clouds” kind of escape. Fantasy is critical to well-being. It awakens the imagination, something most aren't able to exercise often. This woman has taken leave of the daily grind and lives her vision in the clouds.

Tracy Whiteside is an award-winning, Chicago-area photographer specializing in fantasy and dark art. Her work has been published internationally in fashion, literature, fine art books and magazines. Exhibited in galleries worldwide, Tracy is inspired by the darkness in our souls and the need to escape it. Most of her creations are based on women's issues and mental wellness.
