Tracy H. Sugg, MFA, Sculptor

From sculpting in the clay found in her yard as a child to an eight-year apprenticeship under a master sculptor, Tracy’s hands give substance to her heart’s expression. “I feel that I have a sacred responsibility to God and mankind to produce works of Beauty and Truth." Or as her artist's statement says, "...to create sculptures that reflect a touch of the Infinite." Having honed her craft through personal research in Europe, Tracy has created a distinctive personal style combining the spontaneity of the French Impressionist with the drama of the Italian Baroque.

The importance she places on continual study of artistic masters is evident in her work.

In addition to her vast array of monuments and sculptures for public institutions and private collectors,

Tracy also enjoys oil painting in the classical tradition, giving lectures on art history and presenting the sculpture devotional “The Portrait of Christ”.

In the midst of it all, Tracy states, "My favorite sculptures are my four children!"
