Stacey is an Author-Illustrator and creator of stories and characters filled with childhood nostalgia and wonder. Her artwork has won several awards, features in galleries, self-published books, fabric collaborations and murals. Her custom, hand-painted family portraits are a favourite among Etsy customers. Her illustrations are crafted with watercolor, pencil, ink, collage and digital.

Stacey has completed courses at RMIT and CAE on creating Children’s Picture Books as well as School of Creativity in California. She has a background in Midwifery, Special Care Nursing and Retail Management. She is also familiar with speaking to a crowd of hundreds at the Church she leads alongside her husband. Having lived in California USA, Rural Victoria and on the road in a caravan with an ever-changing view of Australia, Stacey now resides with her family at their 120 year old Schoolhouse-homestead nestled in the heart of Central Queensland. It is here she homeschools her four children, surrounded by their pet ducks, geese, chickens, dogs, cats, sheep, cows, guinea fowl, lizards and turkeys! Stacey’s stories and illustrations often capture the precious moments from the midst of motherhood, life on her homestead and memory stones from her childhood.

She often muddles her coffee cup with her paint water, although both are essential elements on her old faithful art desk. Her with all things vintage results in her having a questionably large collection of old weathered clothbound children’s books filling her 100 year old Railway Cottage studio which overlooks the river and a family of cockatoos.
