Featured Artist
Stacey Graham | Through July 2023
Local artist Stacey Graham will display her work at the Greenville Public Library through the month of March. The statement from Graham’s website, staceysart.com:
“Stacey Graham is a fine art painter from Providence, RI. She has been painting since 1992 and received her B.F.A. from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. She resided there and worked as an antique restorer, specializing in inlay, until 2000, and then returned to RI. Current works consist mainly of oils and acrylics. Stacey’s first passion is for figurative painting drawn from personal experience. Each panel incorporates themes of juxtaposing beauty and sadness to create a carefully balanced narrative. She values capturing the emotion of the moment, through a painted diary of dramatic colors, bold shadows, and repetitive shapes. Recent evolution in Stacey’s work expands into landscapes, flowers, and other natural themes in a whimsical style, while further infusing the idea of juxtaposition and narrative. Landscape painting became a natural evolution for the artist. Stacey equates the explosive curvature and fragility of nature to the figure and then intertwines these images with local structures that have withstood the test of time. Her imagery is chosen from places she has visited and feels an emotional connection with.”
