A gregarious graffiti lover, Tracy began street painting in 1998 and is considered by Madonnari peers, festival directors, and viewers alike as one of the finest street painters today.  Known for splashing color in festivals and events in all corners and crevices of the globe, her paintings have won numerous awards & accolades.

In 2006, Tracy added the Guinness World Record to her collection of vinyl for the largest street painting by an individual. Later in 2013, she was a contributor to the Cannes Gold Lion award-winning team for their work in the now-iconic Honda CRV commercial. That year, Tracy also put on clean pants and stepped effortlessly into management as she curated the first annual DO/AC 3D Chalk Festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey, showcasing 14 renowned international 3D street art & chalk artists.

Experienced in multi-city campaigns for clients such as Cadillac, SoBe, and Dos Equis, Tracy is continually creating commissioned 3D and 4D works in chalk for advertising purposes, public and private events, corporate PR, and educational sectors. Her international team-building skills have been utilized in developing street painting festivals in China, Mexico, India, Russia, and throughout the United States.  Her art travels well and is always up to date on all of its shots.

Tracy has also had the privilege and honor to serve as the US State Department's 2012 cultural ambassador.  She's toured Tajikistan and India creating 3D street paintings and teaching workshops at distinguished universities and art colleges to promote education, awareness, and positive cross-cultural communication.

Tracy's chalk conversations speak to her vast audience with imagination, beauty, and playfulness – often with a thick Italian accent.
