Tracy duCharme

In 2009, Tracy duCharme’s extensive background in illustration and design inspired her to open a paint your own pottery studio, Color Me Mine, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Over the past few years, Tracy has become an incredibly vocal advocate for small business issues at both the state and national levels. Tracy has spoken out on behalf of Color Me Mine’s nine employees, as well as her fellow entrepreneurs, on issues like minimum wage, employment nondiscrimination and healthcare.

Tracy continues to draw and paint in her spare time, and she also enjoys maintaining her ranch in Elizabeth, CO with her husband.  Attending to llamas, chickens, honeybees, giant dogs and barn cats is a labor of love for them.
