THE TRACIAK COLLECTION by Steve Tracy
Trunk Show
Friday, May 15, 6:00-9:00 PM

Steve Tracy's discovery and fascination with Faberge objects of art began in the late 1990’s. He started out painting plaster egg forms and embellishing them with rhinestones and chains. After decorating several plaster eggs he decided to attempt to make a real Silver egg.

In the Winter semester of 2002, Steve started his formal art education with Doug Eggleston and John Wittershiem at Siena Heights University. Steve started with fabrication, casting, raising and spinning. He gradually gained the knowledge and skills he needed to create his works of art. Steve is self-taught in the art of Enameling and is still learning this craft. By the end of 2004 Steve was creating complete Faberge style eggs.

In late 2006, Steve created a name for his objects of art THE TRACIAK COLLECTION (pronounced Thray-chek). To date THE TRACIAK COLLECTION consists of (22) Twenty-two different theme eggs.
