Stacey was born in Rutland, in the heart of the English countryside, and is passionately inspired by nature.

Her latest works are a series of expressive landscape paintings created en plein air to record the moment with a focus on light and texture. Each piece encapsulates emotions experienced on site, to forge an organic and honest outcome that is truly unique. Stacey’s preferred medium is oil on canvas.
