Tracy Mahaffey has been a professional stone carver for twenty-five years. The concentration of Tracy's work is hand carved memorials and gravestones, as well as inscriptional architectural carvings and sculptural pieces. Though stone is her first love, she has recently been exploring other materials such as clay, bronze, and zinc to create and cast smaller, more intimate commemorative work.  Her memorial work can be found from coast to coast and all points in between. Tracy lives, works, and plays in a cat sanctuary in Greene, Rhode Island.
