Tell us about your artwork.
Hi, I’m Stacey Lamothe. I love narrative pieces, some things that tells a story. It’s not the same story for everyone. It surprises me when a client tells me why they love their piece and what story it tells them and it’s different than my version. I love that! I like texture, abstract, yoga, nature, plants and animals. These all inspire my art. I also delight in putting text on pendant backs and inside band rings. It’s like a little surprise, mantra or vibe that makes everything more special ❤️
Describe how art is important to society.
My work is uplifting and comforting. It is meant to be a talisman that inspires hope, humor, joy and/or goodness to the wearer. It can also be a connection for like-minded individuals.
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
I am a positive and heart minded woman who looks for beauty in ANYthing. I can’t walk across the yard without tripping on an epiphany 😉 I love humorous and positive quotes/mantras and I incorporate them into much of my work.
Has your style changed over time?
I no longer allow sales to dictate my style. I have spent years honing my craft. I learn through doing and sometimes by lucky accidents. I know my groove, have my tribe and happily create my art to bring joy.
Describe your dream project.
I am pretty much living my dream. Most days I walk across the driveway to work in my happy place (studio)💓 Every thank you note/text/email I get from customers lets me know I’m on the right track.
What superpower would you have and why?
I would like to be a better listener. I think it would make me a better human.
