Meet Stacey

“ I find myself on the constant lookout for movement in nature. Whether it is the linear, flowing movement that I see in slot canyons, or the swirling, soft movement in the clouds, I find my creative inspiration in pieces of the earth and in the atmosphere that surrounds us. I love to bring non-living things to life: to make them breath and take on a personality that's all their own.”

Learn more about Stacey in our Q & A!

How did your business come to exist?

I began my official art business when I decided to step away from teaching, and I have never looked back! Following my passion to create has been the best decision I have ever made. I began painting landscapes using soft pastel about 6 years ago, and my style continues to develop with each new painting.

What are you working on right now?

I am currently working on a series of paintings that include animals in them, and I am so happy to be creating these. 

 

Among the Stars

 

What do you like to do outside of work?

Animals are another passion of mine, so when I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and horse. Much of the time when I am in my studio painting, my pets are often hanging out with me.

What is your biggest challenge?

I feel like my biggest challenge is not being so critical of my work. I need to remind myself that much of the enjoyment that I get from my work is the process, more than the product.

 
 

Hidden Place

 

What is the best piece of advice that you have ever gotten?

The best piece of advice I have ever gotten is that if you aren't happy doing what you're currently doing, make a change. Money is replaceable, but time isn't.

What is your dream project?

My dream project would be to collaborate with my brother Michael, in a sibling exhibit!!
