ABOUT TRACY BAILEY HOLMES

over the years Tracy has come to be known for her artwork representing sports and figures, including high-profile athletes, high-profile races, and events. She has been commissioned by businesses, organizations, corporations, cities, states, and abroad for her artwork.  Her artwork, conceptual ideas, and designs have been marked and established visually; historical events, people, places, races, and awards.
