Bio:
Stacy recently moved to Florida and is thrilled to be teaching at Lighthouse Art Center. Prior to her move (and retirement), Stacy owned, and taught at, an arts studio that concentrated in Ceramics, Fused Glass and Textile & Fiber Arts. In total, she has taught art and fine crafts to both adults and children for more than 25 years.
As an artist and maker, Stacy works in a variety of mediums as she is fascinated by color, texture and pattern. Her current obsession is Fused Glass and she has been creating and teaching this for more than 5 years. In addition to her own art, Stacy is most passionate about helping others find or rekindle their creativity through both art and working with their hand
Stacy has a BA in Psychology and Business from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX and an MBA in Finance from Columbia University. In addition to her formal education, Stacy studied sewing and fashion in NYC and has taken many classes and workshops in numerous art and craft related fields.
She lives with her husband, David, in Manchester Center, VT during the summer months.
