Tracy is a silversmith working out of a studio in Cedar. Rings, pendants and earrings in sterling silver, most of them textured or stamped rather than left plain, and set with stones chosen one at a time.

The work takes its cues from the coast she lives on, from tide-worn stone and weathered wood and the underside of a shell. She also makes the small ceramic soap dishes and trinket dishes her rings sit on at the table.

All of it is made for everyday wear rather than for occasions.
