This mother and daughter-in-law team has been close friends for over fifteen years. They not only share a love for Marylin’s oldest son, but also are both passionate about art.
Tracie Lyn Huskamp holds a B.F.A. in Graphic Design with an emphasis in Fine Art. She worked as a product designer and illustrator before following her passion for mixed media, fibers, and collage.
Marylin Huskamp is a self-taught artist, who has a
love of mixed
media and fibers. She has worked with these mediums
in various
ways for over 40 years. Her passion began when she
started
making dolls. It has since evolved into composing
beautiful works
of art through fiber fusion, fiber dyeing and
painting. She carefully
blends ribbons, lace, yarns, fabrics, buttons, and
other ephemera
to capture the viewer through her use of vibrant
colors and interesting
textures. She is constantly experimenting to find new
and interesting
ways to achieve greater depth in her pieces. To find
