Tracy was born was raised in the more obscure bits of Massachusetts where, upon developing the motor skills necessary to grip a pencil, began drawing things that were probably supposed to be horses. The compulsion to draw stuck as she grew older and as her drawings grew somewhat more coherent, and so she entered into the informal tutelage of an established local artist. Presently, Tracy works as an art director by day and moonlights in her free time as a comic artist and illustrator.
