Stacy lives and works in her 100 year old home in East Northport, New York and has been
a professional artist for more than fifteen years.
She has developed a loyal following throughout the country, selling her art through wholesale gift shows and thus being distributed through galleries and gift shops in nearly all of the 50 states.
Stacy has been recognized by several national periodicals and has had her work displayed at the American Folk Art Museum in New York, NY. She was also recently featured (alongside the original artwork of Theodore Geisel - Dr. Seuss) in the Animazing Gallery in the SoHo district of NYC.
Fascinated by ideas of transformation and evolution, Stacy continues to develop her art in an admittedly unorthodox manner. Self-taught in design, sculpture and woodcarving, she will often find objects, either natural or man-made and see the personality hidden within. It then becomes her mission, to release that personality and expose it to the world. |

In keeping with the style of American folk art traditions, she uses an odd mix of found, recycled, and new items (although only natural materials will do), most commonly working in wood, metal and stone. She can often be found wandering up and down the beaches of the North Shore, sometime in search of inspiration, but more often just looking for the right piece of glass, shell or driftwood.
Stacy creates figures that are primarily feminine in nature, but often with a strong infusion of masculine energy. She creates pieces that reflect more than just the women's experience, but the experiences shared by all. Although many of her pieces are expressions of personal experiences and challenges, she will happily draw inspiration from both classical and contemporary mythologies.
A mother of three, (one delightful son, Maxwell; a two year old, energetic pug, Dutch; and an overly pampered pug, Sophie,) and married to her ever patient and supportive husband, Michael, Stacy remains an adamant computerphobe happy to release her visions and engaging personalities out into the world with energy, emotion, and honesty. |
