Studio Visit: Tracey Adams, Monterey, California

Edited by Paula Fava


“My studio is on the second floor of my house, nestled amid the pine trees, half a mile from the Pacific Ocean," says Tracey. I've managed to get a lot into an 800-square-foot space: Takach etching press, inking table, giant Roland Hot Box, and three work tables for cutting, mounting and working."

The studio, she says, has "wonderful natural light" provided by reflection from the ocean and a huge bank of west-facing windows. She also has LED lights for night lighting. Tracey has considered ventilation as well. "Two large fans draw fumes from wax."
