Many artists eagerly anticipate the silence and solitary confinement of their studios. It is in this place that they can concentrate and channel their creative talents into beautiful masterpieces. This is not the case, however, for interactive street painter Tracy Lee Stum. For her, the interaction and socializing is exciting. She tells me, “the performance aspect, and the fact that it’s ephemeral, it’s not going to last, is really precious.” Despite its fleeting aspect, Tracy’s art can be found all over the world. This “asphalt eccentric,” as she refers to herself on Facebook, and Pennsylvania native, keeps quite busy by producing images for advertisers, participates in non-profit art festivals (many of which help to fund children’s art programs), and is currently researching and developing a new way to redefine 3D art work.


As unique and breathtaking as this artist’s work may be, you won’t find it for sale. The reason: the images she creates at festivals are placed on products and t-shirts that generate revenue for non-profit organizations. For over fourteen years she has donated her work to over thirty organizations and festivals worldwide. These events have raised millions for various causes, including cancer research and art programs. Tracy displays her creations out in the open for all to see and enjoy. She donates her time and art to worthy causes and loves to educate others. She is the epitome of unselfishness. If you happen to be walking down the street and see her working, stop to admire it.
