Tracy Ann Daily

Tracy Daily discovered the therapeutic, calming power of working with clay in her college’s ceramics studio. Fascinated by how the textures and surfaces of clay can be enhanced by the rich variety of colored glazes through firing, Tracy has developed a deep appreciation for how ceramics activates the tactile sense in visual art, as the viewer shares in the artistic process. She shows and sells her work with the Artists Association of Nantucket as an artist member, Sustainable Nantucket Farmers and Artisans Market, and countless other pop-up shows.
