THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
Hi, I'm Stacey!
I’m an Australian self-taught artist with a love for expressive pastels and bringing streets to life through large-scale chalk activations. After taking the scenic route through life—navigating the highs, the lows, and the beautiful chaos of raising a family—I’ve found my way back to my creative soul.
My mission is simple: to create with purpose, embrace the fun, and celebrate the person or place in every piece.

LOOKING AHEAD...👀
In 2026, I am stepping into a new chapter of my practice, taking on challenges that push the boundaries of my portraiture and street art.
While some projects are currently under wraps, I look forward to sharing a major milestone with you all later this year.
My work explores connection whether that is through portraiture, immersive chalk art or my public artworks. I'm drawn to realism for its ability to communicate emotion, humanity and shared experience in an immediate way. Working across large scale street art I like to create works that invite interaction, curiosity and emotional response. I'm particularly interested in how public art can transform everyday spaces into moment of wonder and connection to place. My practice combines both technical realism with storytelling, atmosphere and audience engagement. "
