Hi friend,

We all have a story to tell. Mine is being written every day in new ways I would never have imagined.
 
Almost 50 years and seven children later, my journey has taken me from the suburbs to the foothills in Northern California, Oregon, and now for the last ten years to Tennessee; from a homestead/farm here to living on a ranch with horses, to now residing in a quaint village in the beautiful rolling hills of Franklin in Middle Tennessee.
 
Over the years I have experienced incredibly joyful moments, and traversed unspeakably painful valleys, including the unexpected passing of my son Jacob who crossed the bridge to his Heavenly Home in a sudden accident when he was just fifteen. It's been a journey for sure.
 
Through it all, I have learned to bring my hopes, dreams and brokenness to the One who created my heart and knows more than any human how to heal it.
 
So I come to my studio... 
 
I worship,
 
I listen,

I paint...
 
... and when I step back from my canvas I am blessed to see the unexpected ways God has spoken through color and texture, form and fragility, to reveal His Love, Peace, Redemption and Grace.
 

As an artist, my greatest desire is to inspire, encourage, soothe, heal, and hold memories through my art.
 

It would be my honor to do those things for you, whether through a personal commission, bridal bouquet portrait, Giclee's or printed pieces. 

I look forward to sitting on the porch and getting to know you and your heart's desires.

We all have a story.

I'd love to hear some of yours...
 
Warmly, Traci
