I am Tracey Anne the founder of Mooch an illustrator and antique dealer. My greeting cards are often designed with a nod to my spent youth!

I moved the Peak District over 25 years ago from Manchester, where I was born and bred, for my love of the outdoors and the Peak Districts epic landscapes. It has been very much my home ever since.

I was a lecturer for over 20 years, commuting ninety miles a day. At the ripe old age of 50 I started feeling a tad decrepit so with trepidation I accepted voluntary redundancy to look after my health and well being, SO I founded Mooch.

Before my career in education I was an illustrator and ran a tiny business selling handmade greeting cards supplying many prestigious high street stores and small independent businesses. However, I felt isolated working from home (pre internet, wow old am I) so I pursued a teaching career.

Fast forward 25 years later, I have gone full circle reviving my own creativity and exercising my sense of humour by illustrating greeting cards again and truffling about for treasure!

Thank you for reading my waffle it is SO lovely to meet you!
