2025, A Year In My Life As An Artist
2025 was a year of bold creative growth for Cincinnati artist Tracy Updike of Maker Street Studio. From launching Otiose Emporium creative vending machines around Cincinnati to exhibiting at art shows and pop-up markets across Ohio, Tracy expanded her whimsical pet art brand with new product lines, original art collections, and handmade gifts that celebrate imagination, storytelling, and community.
