Maison 53

A Warm Welcome, that is how we greet everyone who walks thru our door. Maison 53 isn’t just a store it’s a place where we catch up with friends, meet new people, laugh and even sometimes cry. Feeling comfortable in a space and enjoying your time there is what makes a house a home. We are so grateful that so many of you come back again and again, not just for all the chic things but because you want to stop in and just be here with us.

Pieces like these don’t shout—they whisper, and somehow say everything.

Meet local artist Tracey Luckner. We are thrilled to share some of her incredible pieces with you. They look so good in our shop though that we might have a hard time letting them go!
Let’s get to know Tracey:
My paintings explore the space between abstraction and landscape. Through expressive
brushstrokes and layered mark-making, I seek a sense of lyricism, movement, and
emotional resonance within the work. Some paintings begin with plein air studies or
reference photographs, while others unfold intuitively through experimentation. I allow
the paintings to evolve organically, responding to what emerges and refining areas that
feel most compelling until the work begins to tell its own story. I consider a painting
complete when it evokes a sense of wonder — when the elements resolve into a
dynamic and unified whole. Titles may arise during the process or after completion, and
I view them as an additional layer of meaning that invites the viewer into the work.
