Stacey creates unique and meaningful artwork that inspires and evokes emotion. Her fine art photography pieces expertly blends multiple layers of original photos, which are harmoniously intertwined to create a dream-like story.

Stacey draws inspiration from the mountains and ocean – an influence of power and beauty that she passionately incorporates into both her personal and professional life. She captures images from mountain vistas, Canadian wildlife, surf breaks, old growth forests and wild places around the world. Images from her current collections are curated from travels around British Columbia, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, and from her home town of Whistler.

Her approach, which she terms ‘artography’, layers and fuses anywhere from 3-10 photos, that are blended to create a vibrant, one-of-a-kind artwork that would never be achieved from one photo alone.

Since 2014, her work has appeared in art exhibitions in Whistler, Squamish, Vancouver and Tofino. Her work can also be seen at various commercial spaces, galleries and boutique hotels throughout British Columbia. Although her clients include a strong local following, her artwork is also sold and collected across the globe.

Awards & Nominations:
Stacey has had the opportunity to provide artwork for the Whistler Blackcomb 2015, and 2016 Manager Awards, and has been featured in a variety of artwork and lifestyle magazines. Her artwork has recently been featured on HGTV Canada.

STATEMENT

“The photographs that make up the collection of images here are evidence of personal journeys but also spiritual evocations on the value of liminal spaces at the meeting point of land, sea and sky.
The long-exposure format, building seconds and minutes into a single photograph, serves to enhance the allure of these places and recall the senses that awaken and wash over us whenever we get away from it all. Out in the wilderness, we often find ourselves.
In the Pacific Northwest, and further afield, I’ve spent many hours standing at the water’s edge – that wavering intersection between land and sea where everything seems so elemental, so pure and we reconnect with our natural origins. That is the spirit that I try to capture in these photographs.”

I have merged what we have both chosen to portray of our realities, using my photographic landscapes and my photographs of his drawings, in layered pieces that make a conversation between the two of us, despite being two centuries and two continents apart. In the process I have discovered a new, unexpected world of depth and complexity that unfolds like stories being told.
