Meet Traci Bautista

Traci is creative director and owner of treiC Designs. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from Woodbury University, with a major in Graphic Design and Marketing. Prior to becoming a full-time artist, Traci Bautista held jobs as a graphic designer, event planner, marketing director, professional cheerleader, elementary art history teacher, fashion designer, Web designer, and tradeshow manager – just to name a few.
Experiences that she gained in these positions, coupled with her innate drive to explore and create without boundaries are what contribute to her growing success as a collage and mixed media artist.

Traci travels across the country and internationally to offer workshops and classes on handmade books, art journals, mixed-media collage, and surface design. Combining her love of designing clothes, doodling and lettering, Traci creates vibrantly colored handmade journals, custom handbags and paintings that are layered with rich textures of stained papers, painted sewn fabric, “girlie glam” ink drawings and free style lettering. Her artwork has been featured in Somerset Studio, Altered Couture, cloth.paper.scissors, Creative TECHniques, Belle Armoire and various books.  She has been a regular guest artist on HGTV & DIY Network Craft Lab. Traci is author of, Collage Unleashed, and writes a regular column called Creativity Unleashed in Somerset Studio Magazine.
