How we do what we do
Sometimes people say we are "talented". We don't think of it that way. We are hard workers. We practice, we make mistakes and we keep trying again.

Scott and Tracy Snowman are high school sweethearts that met in Scott’s dad’s art class as freshman. Tracy wrote about Scott in her diary that year noting that he was cute and hoped that he would ask her out. The two didn't see much of each other until they accidentally got all of their classes together their senior year. They quickly became great friends and had their first date in November of 1980. they have been together side by side ever since.
Tracy and Scott have continued work side by side as parents, teachers, artists and business owners for over 30 years. To learn more about their work visit one of their other websites:
