Tracy’s interest and love for art helped him to find opportunities to work in the art world. Through Crossroads, Inc (crossroadsmuscatine.org), he works as a gallery assistant at Sunrise Galleries helping to prepare art shows, finish framing projects, and maintain the gallery’s online retail website.

“ I enjoy art because with art I can really express myself. It’s a hard feeling to describe, I don’t know what it is, but art just clicks for me. Art is everywhere you look,” said Tracy, “it’s in drawings, paintings,
the media, and even a chair is art … someone designed it. People are even art and can express themselves freely. I love to express myself and art helps me do that.”
