Tracy Algar

I am a landscape oil painter who lives and works in Adendorp, a small agriculatural village near the town of Graaff-Reinet in the Karoo.  I typically paint small landscapes that capture the nuanced effects of the light on the local environment, and I love to work outdoors, en plein air. My Karoo landscape paintings for sale are created with professional quality materials and shipped with great care. If you like what I do, and would like me to paint a special place just for you, or if you would like to commission a Karoo landscape painting direct from the artist, please do get in touch.

Karoo Series

This series of oil paintings documents my evolving relationship with the Karoo landscape, sparked in Graaff-Reinet and now intimately observed from my home in Adendorp. Through my contemporary lens, I explore its beauty and the meaning of place.

Overberg Series

This collection of oil paintings captures my decade-long immersion in the Overberg landscape, born from ten years living and painting in Stanford. Filtered through a contemporary viewpoint, these works explore the area’s distinct character and my own deepening sense of place within it.
