Tracy Smith-Dengler

I'm a middle-aged woman who's lived most of my life in WNY; I moved to Fredonia in 1989 to attend SUNY Fredonia, then fell in love with the region. My early career was in small buiness in the private sector, but I've been in public service for 25 years and presently run the Central Business Office for Erie 2-Chautuauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES. My husband and I live on the shore of Lake Erie and enjoy boating and fishing on those waters; we're also huge sporting enthusiasts. I began working in beachglass in 2012. To date, my body of work includes lampshades, bowls, wall hangings, chain pulls, house markers, primitives, and mixed media sculptures.
