Traci Bautista began making clothes, doodling, lettering and doing "artsy" things at a young age. She now combines all of these passions in her vibrantly colored handmade journals and paintings that are layered with rich textures of stained papers, painted sewn fabric, "girlie glam" ink drawings and free style lettering. Her love for art, led her to leave a career in high-tech marketing to pursue her life-long dream of starting a business. Traci is creative director and owner of treiC Designs. She designs, [k o L L ä J] girlie glam, an eclectic line of hand painted papers, custom invitations and aRt! kits for bookmaking and stamping. She teaches at art retreats and private workshops throughout the country. She lives in an artsy loft in Fremont, CA with her two little Yorkies, "Freedom" and "trei*trei" . Her artwork has been featured in numerous publications, including her solo soon-to-be released book titled Collage Unleashed . Visit her website at www.treicdesigns.com .
