Bio
Stacey Lawrence is a multimedia artist who received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Her work has spanned painting, drawing, and assemblage but the consistent element is always an experimental and fervent style. Her paintings are a tactile and thought-provoking examination of both space and place, often engaging viewers with hidden symbols or narratives on personal perspectives pertaining to life and modern culture. She balances form, color and line to create stories that, like dreams, escape and are lost in their telling. Her current collection fuses oil and acrylic paints, cold wax, graphite, markers, pencils, chalks, beads and upcycled paper and plastic in a self-reflective juxtaposition of security and vulnerability, known and unknown.
Stacey works and lives in Atlanta, Georgia.
Artist Statement ‘I find it fascinating to explore where intentional and experimental efforts merge. I have found that by relinquishing control and momentarily detaching, my creative process is heightened and my artistic expression is most honest. It is this combination of certainty and unexpectedness that lures me to create and defines my relationship with my art.’
there is a stillness that comes with silence, where contemplation and emotional observations follow.
