Traci Bautista

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, [kōL LäJ] girlie glam, an eclectic line of hand painted papers, custom invitations and aRt! kits for bookmaking and stamping. She teaches at art retreats throughout the country and internationally to offer mixed media and art journaling workshops. Her artwork has been featured in Somerset Studio, cloth.paper.scissors and numerous books. Visit her website at www.treicdesigns.com.
