Tracy Robinson was born and raised in a small town on the wild West Coast of Vancouver Island, Canada. She spent her formative years with an active imagination that saw her whittling away at her desk that her grandfather made for her, writing stories and poetry and contentedly drawing pictures for hours on end. These artistic endeavours would follow her most of her life. Folklore and the thought of elemental creatures protecting the land would influence how she saw nature and how she wished to incorporate it into her style of writing, art and botanical perfumery.
