• Bio:

  Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, Stasia has lived in Davis since 1999. With a BFA in Fine Art Studio from the University of New Mexico, she has worked as a professional studio artist, decorative painter and in galleries for over 20 years. In 2013, she became a full time studio and Plein air artist. “While painting in studio or outdoors in the tradition of Plein air, I seek a general notion or idea in each environment I explore and try to capture it in my work. While painting, I ask myself, what does this scene make me think or feel? What is the gist of this scene? Be it a mood, a metaphor, symbolism or just an internal musing on my part, I find revealing it through landscape captures a reflection of human nature. “
