Portrait Picture Taking Marathon with Tracey Frugoli Tomorrow

Tracey Frugoli Fine Art



Did you know that, in addition to painting, Murray Center Artist Tracey Frugoli also does portrait photography? She brings her painter's eye to every shot. It's all part of the artistic process for her, but don't worry, she won't quit painting. Since her studio mate, Ken Teissen and guest artist, Bethany Dornberger, cannot make it this week, she came up with this crazy idea for this Friday's

"First Friday"

A portrait taking marathon.

Here is the deal:

Come to her studio at this First Friday Aug. 3 5-9pm and she will take your picture.
100 Walnut St., Suite 312, Peoria, IL


No session fee! It will most likely be a head shot, but we will see how it goes. She is pretty flexible. Drag your spouse, friends or children in and she will take their portrait too. No appointment, just show up and cue up. It'll be a fun improvisation.

Here is what you get:

A FREE 5x7 - all with the option to buy more if you like.

And that's just for coming into her studio and checking her out!
