Stacy is an abstract artist currently working primarily in ceramics and fiberclay and acrylics.

Raised in Louisville Kentucky, Stacy has been drawing and painting since she was a child. Trained as a fine artist she earned a scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago. Her path veered when she fell into acting and eventually moved out to Venice California to pursue an acting career.

After many years in CA working in television and film Stacy felt the longing for her art. From the moment she started painting again-thinking this was “just for her”- she had opportunities knock. After a few group shows Stacy’s studio was featured in the VENICE ART WALK for 3 years. Her work is in the homes of many private clients here in LA and she has private commissioned paintings in restaurants in Scottsdale Arizona, Tampa Florida, Austin TX and San Diego CA.

She says “the work is always a collaboration with myself, the materials and all the ideas floating around looking for a home...a place to manifest. A little woo woo I know.

My best works come from trust, experimentation and intuitive impulse. And if I’m patient and let go of the could haves or should haves and just listen softly the spark of an idea whisks me away and grounds me in the moment. It may be just the thought of a color or shape or an image but I just go with it and then we figure it out together. The end result shows how good of a listener I was.”

For her, entering her studio is a time of letting go: of expectations, of structure, of rules, and of her own ideas about what’s possible and what’s not...in life and art.
