TEACHER BIO

Stacy has been a professional, full-time artist for the past 25 years and a long term senior faculty member at the Crealdé School of Art. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Central Florida, and working in graphic design, she stumbling into an all from life oil painting workshop with renowned instructor Gregg Kreutz and following that intense week of study, she knew that oil painting was what she must do. Four years later, after continuing to hone her newly found passion with further master instruction, Stacy leapt into oil painting professionally.

Stacy realized she was particularly drawn to painting from flowers and striving to capture their intricacy and beauty. This passion culminated in a painting of Peonies, honoring her grandmother, that won Best in Show, a $25,000 prize, with “Blossom - Art of Flowers”, an International Exhibition and Museum Tour in 2007.

Stacy has received significant award acknowledgements in Floral, Figure and Landscape paintings over the years that include awards with the National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Society, Oil Painters of America, The American Artists Professional League, and the Impressionist’s Society including being granted Signature Status in all four organizations, and being reviewed for the same status by the The Portrait Society of America.

This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn from a seasoned artist at SOBO.
