Stacey Stuart

As a painter, I live out my belief that art is about creation as opposed to imitation and work from my raw emotion as opposed to within a​​ representational form of expression.
Colour field painting and abstract expressionism influence my work. I expose layers of paint, plaster, and found paper with my brush, palette knife and a sander. The paintings symbolize the complex layers of our selves, made up of our varied and individual experiences. As humans we want to be viewed in our entirety as Aristotle said, “ The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” In our entirety, even with our scars and flaws, we can be quite beautiful.
