Tracy's Place started because I wanted to create a space where people could gather, reconnect, and reengage with their creative selves. A comfortable place that felt like you were visiting an old friend's house, not a stuffy old business. We came up with the name "Tracy's Place" because my husband (Jeff Tracy) and I share ownership, and, as you can see, Tracy is our last name. We recently dropped the "Place" off of our signage. We can make "Tracy's" more visible and easy to find now. Tracy's is the gathering space we have worked hard to create created. With coffee house vibe by day and art classes by night, we have successfully built the business of our dreams. ? For years and years, I have been studying art while trying to create my own. My mom (Cheryl Harris) and I have loved to paint and create pretty things for as long as I can remember (I am sure longer for her, but we won't mention it). I have been surrounded by and fascinated with art my whole life. My favorite topics in high school and college were Art History and Humanities. Both of which tell stories of the past, present, and future. I have a passion for all things of beauty and am looking forward to sharing that passion with you. ? I worked in retail for 15 years and learned as much as I could from that establishment. While there, I went to school and earned my Associate of Arts Degree from Front Range Community College. With the love and support of my husband, family, and friends, I quit my job and began the journey of starting Tracy's Place. I am relearning a lot of old techniques that I had forgotten while working in retail for so long. It has been so much fun to create art and crafts as my chosen career. I hope you come in to see us. Take a class, have a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or grab a gift for yourself. I am excited to meet new people, share my story, and learn theirs.
