Who are you and what do you do?
Iām Stacey Lamothe and I am an artist who loves to laugh. I make HAPPY in the form of jewelry š
Why do you do what you do?
I love narrative works, meaning each piece tells a visual story. Being a nature lover, gardener, meditating and practicing yoga, I gravitate towards a positive and uplifting vibe, my finished pieces have a wide range of themes. Happiness is not a destination; it is a method of life. I truly believe this. Through valuing and serving each customer with a gift of joy, giving smiles, laughter and/or inspiration, I cultivate my own happy heart.
What themes do you pursue?
My work often has humor, love or affirmation quotes as a little “secret” message on the back of pendants or inside ring bands. In my jewelry case you might spy an animal, coffee cup, peace sign, tree, flowers, mountain scene or a Praying Mantis (eat, prey, love!). The universe offers me unlimited fodder.
Describe a real life situation that inspired you.
It all started with a little rescue dog. I was so besotted with my little rescue dog, Frank, that she became my muse. I began making copper and sterling pendants of her likeness, and then of other animals. Frank is no longer here but she lives on in my heart and every piece of jewelry that scampers across my bench.
What jobs have you done other than being an artist?
I have been a caterer, a chef, an event planner and a food service sales rep & district manager for Sysco Foods among other things š
What are your hobbies?
Hiking, snowshoeing, (cell phone) photography, cooking, gardening, yoga, dinner parties, dancing, concerts, dining out, making someone’s day, and finding humor in most things.
