nine {with Tracie Lyn Huskamp}
Today's interview is with the delightful spirit who is Tracie Lyn Huskamp. I met Tracie when I attended ArtFest for the first time in 2006, and we instantly knew we were kindred spirits. She is a gifted teacher, and she simply has a heart of gold. Her first book, Nature Inspired, is now out, and it looks beautiful and full of incredible techniques that invite readers to notice the world around them and create something that honors the world in which they live. (You can even order an autographed copy that includes a print; visit Tracie's blog for more information.)
Enjoy this peek into Tracie's world...

gorgeous! that border adds a lovely touch to the images too. so glad to be introduced to Tracie!
This is a lovely piece, as they all have been. I was thinking of taking Traci and Marilyn's class at ArtFest, but have decided not to go this year. I've got the retreat with you in February and am dreaming crazy dreams about what I could do instead of ArtFest. The impending trip to Egypt has made me widen my horizons. I think I need to take the video camera as well as the Nikons.
I love this interview with Tracie! I just love her work. I took a class with her at Art Unraveled and had a wonderful time, learned lots, and gained confidence. I hope to do it again.
