what tracy does:
Tracy creates hand-made ceramic jewelry, tiles and gifts—to include: tiles, bowls, plates, spreaders, frames, crosses and more. Personalization is a bonus and can be done on ornaments, crosses, plates, platters and more to create a one-of-a-kind gift. Check out her website for examples!

Make an appointment with Tracy for your children to make /special occasion keepsakes with their hand-prints and foot-prints too! Appointments are brief: you choose a design and what you want it on: plates, platters, tissue box covers, cookie jars, etc….makes a great gift for grandma’s and grandpa’s. Tracy gets the prints and then she does the rest.

about tracy:

Tracy grew up in Virginia and inherited much of her talent from her grandfather whose popular folk art continues to delight his family and friends. She graduated from Mary Baldwin College with an art/graphic design degree and teaching certification. She moved to Williamsburg with her husband 12+ years ago and continues to teach and create.

Once a part-time hobby, Tracy’s art is now a full-time business. Resigning from her art position at D.J. Montague, she now stays home with her daughter and works during nap-times and bed-times. Tracy also teaches art workshops, camps, etc.

Tracy’s experience as an elementary art teacher has inspired her use of bright colors and whimsical designs.


about the product:

Tiles, ornaments, jewelry and crosses and hand-cut, slowly dried, sanded and kiln fired. They are then glazed and fired a second time. Bright colors, meaningful words and phrases and images make any piece a super gift for anyone on your list!

All products are lead free and food safe!

Tracy appreciates your business and is happy to do custom orders, print appointments or personalized items.

Thanks for supporting local artists!!!


Buying a hand-made gift made locally will make a long-lasting, meaningful gift.
