Early on in her career she was awarded five community arts grants from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. This contributed to her success as a self taught Chicago painter. Honored with artist in residencies programs from the Ragdale Foundation, Jentel Arts Program, and Brush Creek Foundation For The Arts. She is a 2014 recipient of a direct purchase award from the Montana Arts Council.

If your television is a shrine in your living room, you might have seen Pristas’s paintings on the Lifetime Television hit series “Drop Dead Diva,” now in its fourth season. Movie aficionados may have spotted some Pristas paintings in the Jennifer Aniston-Vince Vaughn movie “The Break-Up.” Tracy was born in Latrobe, Pa. For 17 years she maintained a studio in Chicago along the city’s Ravenswood industrial corridor, with an elevated train rumbling by her windows. She now resides in Littleton, Colo., and is freed from having to wear noise-reduction headphones when she paints. Thankfully, the foothills are a transition zone — not a transit zone.
