  • Masks recommended, but not mandatory.
  • Some students may already have supplies they have worked with in the past. If that is the case, feel free to use the supplies you currently own. If you are a beginner or you want to supplement the supplies you have now, the following is a suggested supply list:
  • A working palette with a lid (with preformed wells in which to squeeze your tubes of watercolor paint)
  • Good, HIGH QUALITY watercolor brushes. Have at least a size 4, 6, and 10 round. Have a 3/4 flat also.

Kuzminsky, Tracy

Tracy V. Kuzminsky is native to New England, but her path has brought her throughout the nation. Currently, she resides in Florida and Georgia. Tracy's undergraduate work was completed at Rhode Island College. Her studies were multifaceted, with pottery and three dimensional clay form as the cornerstone. The nucleus of her later graduate studies at Georgia State University was painting and mixed media work. Tracy's love of the artistic process led her to become a visual arts educator, which she has enjoyed for the past twenty years with great accomplishment. She has often been recognized in her field and was even awarded Georgia Art Teacher of the Year in 2012 by the Georgia Art Education Association. Tracy is now focusing more of her time and energy into her own art but she continues to enjoy teaching both youth and adult classes at Naples Art in Naples, Florida. Tracy's diverse studies, commitment to excellence, and exposure to multiple regions inspire exciting collections that explore varied media and subjects.
