About Me…

Hi, I’m Traycee — artist, maker, and lifelong seeker of curious wonder. My creative journey began in my Granny’s garage, watching her hands bring magical ceramics to life. That early spark led me to explore countless artistic avenues over the years—from crafting jewelry and custom baked creations to sketching and art journaling.

For nearly two decades, I balanced this creative drive with a fast-paced career in corporate enterprise technology account services. It was a world built on strategy and digital frameworks, but beneath the surface, the studio always felt like home. In 2026, I made the life-changing leap to transition full-time into my true calling as an intuitive mixed-media artist.

Today, my work lives at the soulful intersection of things made and things found.

The Art of Intuitive Mark-Making
I never begin a canvas or a wood panel with a rigid plan. Instead, I step into the studio and follow playful, spontaneous marks, splatters, and layers of acrylic, artist crayons, and charcoal. As the textures build, I introduce hand-torn paper elements, often weaving in the weathered text and musical notes of vintage hymnal pages.

I work responsively with the canvas until tiny, whimsical creatures and figures naturally reveal themselves. These beings serve as gentle reminders of the magic hidden in nature and the preciousness of every living thing. It is an artistic practice of waiting, listening, and allowing a quiet story to emerge.

The Vintage Hunt
That same reverence for history and texture flows directly into WonderFoundShop on Etsy. To me, thrifting or antiquing is a form of rescue and noticing the potential in things that might be overlooked. I actively hunt for vintage treasures and unique collectibles that have lived entire stories before finding their way to me. Whether handmade or discovered, everything I curate is chosen with intention, heart, and a deep appreciation for the wonderfully unusual.

When I’m not in the studio painting or searching for vintage gems, you can find me wandering outdoors looking for local wildlife, capturing quiet moments of natural beauty, or spending slow afternoons with my sweet greyhound, Asher.

Thank you for pulling up a chair and sharing in this place of art, history, and creative transformation and transition.
