Tracy LeRoux Owner & Principal Broker
The Power of the Press When Tracy LeRoux launched an advertising agency in 1999 in Providence, she had no idea the importance real estate would play in her career.
“I understood consumer behavior and was always good at selling,” she explains. Her advertising business took off right away and while she had a real estate license, it took a back seat to the agency for fifteen years. After she was featured on the cover of Adweek, featured in AdAge, named a “40 Under 40” in Providence Business News in 2005, and quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Forbes, and numerous other trade publications, there was no time for real estate, or was there?
Time to Sell Her decision to start LINK REAL ESTATE was remarkably easy. After spending ten years running the very successful national ad agency, Tracy landed the Pulte Homes account. As one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, Pulte had grown rapidly and hired Tracy and her firm to help them grow even more. At the same time, Pulte was expanding in southern California, and Tracy had just given birth to her daughter and was in the middle of building her dream home in Barrington. However, in the middle of it all, Tracy and her whole family uprooted and relocated to California.
“Moving her and her husband’s two businesses, an elderly dad, a baby, in-laws and figuring out what to do with a half-built home in Barrington was a challenge, to say the least,” she says. “We would be negotiating two commercial leases, places for all of us to live, and I thought it would be good for business to earn a California Real Estate license.” So in the middle of her moves that is just what she did. Lemons into Lemonade Five years later and after selling her company, Tracy chose to relocate back to Barrington. She began teaching marketing part-time at Roger Williams University. In that role, she helped a friend, a local realtor, position and market a multi-million-dollar home that was not selling. Her work paid off and her friend sold the home for almost $5,000,000. A few weeks later, her friend bought her lunch to say thanks.
“I was frustrated,” she admits, mainly at herself for “getting out of the game.” At that moment, Tracy realized the frustration she was feeling was her entrepreneurial spirit yearning for a new business opportunity on the East Coast. That transaction of helping her friend was the impetus for her to get her Rhode Island Broker’s license and start Link Real Estate, a boutique real estate firm located in Barrington.
“We are all about working with extraordinary people and utilizing leading marketing technology to create win/ win deals for our clients.” Link Real Estate works both residential and smallcommercial clients and oversees each transaction personally. Last year alone, Tracy personally oversaw 27 real estate transactions including helping Brown Medicine procure 375 Wampanoag Trail in East Providence for $20.3 million, and guiding a first-time home buyer purchase land for $99,000 in Barrington. How can they work with such diverse clients? “We work with only a few clients at a time, so we can focus more closely on their needs,” says Tracy.
Coffee Talk When it comes to growing the business, Tracy looks for “kindred spirits and nice people” she would like to sit and have coffee with. “We’re located above Starbucks, and coffee breaks are important,” she says. If you’re looking to buy or sell, Tracy is licensed in six states and would love the opportunity to help you reach your goals.

She earned her MD from the New York University School of Medicine.

“I love making my patients happy, whether it’s clearing their acne or making them look ten years younger,” says Dr. Caroline Chang, board-certified dermatologist and owner of RHODE ISLAND DERMATOLOGY INSTITUTE. “It’s very gratifying to be able to help people improve their confidence and self-esteem.”
Celebrating her practice’s second year anniversary this year, Dr. Chang is humbled by her patients’ continued support. “Building a practice from scratch and watching it blossom has been one of the most rewarding things in my career. My o!ce has grown a lot through word of mouth; it’s beyond gratifying to have earned that level of trust with my patients.”
Personalized Patient Care “I focus on individualized care for both medical and cosmetic services. I always put the patient first,” says Dr. Chang.
In 2018, after ten years of studying and practicing medicine within the confines of the traditional insurance-based system, Dr. Chang opened her own unique patientfocused practice. “We have a close bond with our patients. Our approach allows us to get to know them on a very personal level, and provide the best outcome possible.”
Rhode Island Dermatology Institute (RIDI), the first direct care dermatology practice in the state, aims to restore and nurture the doctor-patient relationship. “We provide the highest quality of care to our patients without the barriers of health insurance,” Dr. Chang says, explaining that in the direct care model patients contract medical services directly with their doctor. New and existing patients can make appointments without referrals, and can typically be seen in the o!ce within a week. “We cut out the middle people [insurance companies.] In turn, patients are able to get the care they need, and doctors are able to provide the care they want.” allows for better visualization of the skin’s surface. An associate sta" member at Rhode Island Hospital, Dr. Chang has over a decade of experience with providing customized care in both medical and cosmetic dermatology.
“It’s very important that patients choose board certified dermatologists for all procedures,” she says, explaining that she examines her patients’ skin at every appointment. “I’ve had a number of patients see me for cosmetic procedures in which I have spotted skin cancer. I am on the frontline of my patients’ health, providing comprehensive evaluations and o"ering the very best care of their skin.”
Dr. Chang is looking forward to growing her practice this year by introducing new, state-ofthe-art procedures. “I’m excited to continue o"ering the most innovative treatments, as well as providing the best evidence-based procedures. It’s been a dream to not only own my own business, but also treat patients in a truly personalized and meaningful way.”
The Art of Science An art enthusiast with a dedication for sciencebased medicine, Dr. Chang has a unique academic and medically-trained background. “I apply my extensive background in both art history and dermatology to provide the

JEAN HAUSER President
Locations in Cranston, North Kingstown, Wakefield, Middletown, & Smithfield (opening Mid-March) TheColorHouse.com
THE COLOR HOUSE, a paint and design retailer with four storefronts in Rhode Island, has recently earned state certification as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). To date, The Color House is the first and only RI paint and design retailer to hold the WBE certification.
The Color House is a secondgeneration, family-owned paint and decorating business specializing in providing superior quality Benjamin Moore paints, stains, primers, and industrial coatings with the expert knowledge and advice that customers need to get their projects done right. In addition to paint, The Color House offers the largest selection of wallcovering in the state, along with window treatments and color consultations.
Jean Hauser, President, inherited ownership of her husband’s family-run paint and wall covering business after he passed away in 2016. It marked a turning point – both for the company started in 1963, and for Jean herself. With four recently-renovated locations and a fifth planned to open this spring, The Color House’s phenomenal growth continues under Jean’s leadership.
“I believe in women supporting women – whether that means partnering together, promoting one another, or providing support and resources we need to be successful,” she says. “The WBE certification demonstrates how proud we are to be a woman-owned business. It is also a reflection of The Color House as an inclusive team that values and appreciates the diversity of every customer who walks through our door.”
Jean is also leading the way for women in the traditionally male-dominated paint industry. Earlier this year, she became the first woman appointed committee chair of the AllPro® Corporation (AllProCorp. com), a business-to-business purchasing cooperative for the international paint and decorating industry. “It is a privilege to represent a 280-member network of international paint and design retailers, but I am especially honored to be a voice for fellow women business owners at the table.”

Shelf Life A Summit neighborhood home is a book lover’s dream come true
By Elyse Major
Dining room as a stunning home library
“I’m a city person. When I looked out the window all I could see was greenery and water,” scoffs Anne Holland, as she recounts first moving to Portsmouth, Rhode Island from DC. “The first day I looked out the window of my new house in Providence, I burst into tears of relief because I could see people walking on the sidewalk right outside.” If Holland’s name is familiar it’s because she is co-founder
of What Cheer Writers Club, the skyrocketing nonprofit that offers professional support and coworking space for journalists, creative writers, illustrators, and podcasters.
Once she and cats Sunny and Freddie moved into the center-hall Colonial built in 1927 by Zelig Fink, Holland began planning renovations which would include turning the dining room into a library for her massive book collection.
However, not long after, a terrible house fire caused by old electrical wires in the attic resulted in severe property damage. Luckily, Holland was working from home that day and was able to save the cats and call the fire department. Also luckily, all the house’s original windows were at Her- itage Restoration being restored (she was making do with storm windows only) and her books, along with some art, were in storage. “Pretty much everything else was lost,” says Holland.
The rebuild took nearly a year and once complete, Holland was concerned that the interior would look too new and slick. “I wanted it to feel as though I’d lived there for years – with warmth, color, and layers of intimate history.” To achieve this look, she deliberately sought things of varying styles and periods, doing much of her shop- ping at auctions and having pieces like $5
Books and plants are key elements throughout the home
chairs reupholstered at Kreatelier. “When I couldn’t find the right thing, I commissioned it. It can be cheaper than highend stuff, and you get what you want.” Holland also credits Elizabeth Randall Designs for helping with both the rebuild and decorating.
For interior spaces, Holland is drawn to rich colors like mossy greens and periwinkle blues; she likes black leather, orange and raspberry velvets, and cites warm lighting as critical to her aesthetic. “I look for light bulbs with warm light, which means preferably 2,200 kelvins; my fixtures are dimmable or multi-setting, and I’m always tweaking to get the perfect warm glow.”
“People are always surprised to learn there was a fire and that so much of the house and its contents are new, new to me at least,” Holland says. “It truly feels like I’ve been here for years. That makes me happy.”

REFERENCE SECTION Holland stock shelves with books by nationally recognized local authors and recommends K. Chess, Bathsheba Demuth, Vanessa Lillie, Lucas Mann, and Vikki Warner for starters. For book stores, it’s Paper Nautilus, Ri! Ra!, Symposium, and Twenty Stories.
HOLLAND’S HAUNTS Look for new RI art at AS220, historic RI art at The Bert Gallery; have things framed at Providence Picture Frame; get windows restored at Heritage Restoration; and head to Hope for Kreatelier, Studio Hop, pH Factor, and more.
NATURAL INSTINCTS “When your jobs and hobbies mostly involve being indoors, I think it’s important to have plants and fresh flowers. I always have a bouquet on my desk and houseplants in each room.” says Holland who likes The Floral Reserve and Aquidneck Island’s Rockfarm Gardens (they deliver).
First Impressionism With a multimedia trick, the Wheeler School’s second mural comes to life

PRESCHOOL - 5TH GRADE
The name “Claude Monet” conjures images of corsets and parasols, summer days and leafy parks. His impressionist portraits are so emblematic of the belle époque, some fans are startled to learn that the artist lived until 1926 – and there are actual films of him painting. Before you run to YouTube and search for this silent footage, first visit the brand-new mural at 82 Fones Alley, a slim backstreet just o! Thayer. The mural, depicting a lush water garden, is based on an archival film of Monet painting in 1915. If you want to see the French master at work, the mural has a special QR code; using your smartphone, the code will lead you to the historic video on your browser. The new mural was created by a corps of artists from The Wheeler School, including current students, past alumni, and teachers from the Visual Arts Department. Support came from the Thayer Street District Management Authority, Shake Shack, and E.F. Bishop Agency. “For the basis of our mural, we chose a panoramic view of Monet’s water garden taken from actual motion picture footage of Monet at work in 1915,” said Bob Martin,
department head. “Having painted a Monet-inspired landscape in their classes last spring, students from Kindergarten and Lower School were ready, willing, and able to begin work on the lower portion of the mural. High school-aged students from our Studio Arts program added more landscape details, while two Wheeler seniors, Delaney Foss and Chloe Guo, contributed to the finish work on the figure of Monet and the water lilies.” The painting has a personal connection to

the school’s founder, Mary C. Wheeler, who studied painting in France and took residence in the town of Giverny. Incredibly, her neighbor was Claude Monet, with whom she had a friendly relationship. The new mural is an homage to Wheeler and the famous man next door; painted in the Impressionist style, it shows a pond, bridge, rich vegetation, and the heavily bearded Monet standing by his easel. But instead of a canvas, the rectangle has been replaced with a mirror, inviting passersby to see themselves in the scene and – naturally – take a picture. “This type of creative undertaking engages our students as members of the neighborhood to create something that the nearby college and university communities, visitors, and the whole City of Providence can enjoy,” said Wheeler School Head Allison Gaines Pell. “The hours of work to research, design, and then create these new community landmarks on Thayer Street is part of our academic mission to have students ‘learn their powers and be answerable for their use.’ We are delighted that Wheeler is able to add to the vibrant landscape of Thayer Street in a way that is both educational and joyful.”
