About Me

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 private workshops at her aRt! loft in Fremont, California, where she lives with her two little Yorkies, “Freedom” and “trei*trei”. Her artwork has been featured in Somerset Studio, cloth.paper.scissors and various books. Visit her website at www.treicdesigns.com. Look for her NEW book, Collage Unleased available July 2006!
