Stacey Carlson, Artist

Stacey is an award winning artist known for her landscapes and wildlife paintings throughout the Midwest and beyond. Her work has been seen at the Walker’s Point Center for the Arts in Downtown Milwaukee, The Arts Mill Gallery in Grafton, WI, Cobblestone Gallery in Racine, WI, as well as many art shows and sales. Born and raised on the edge of the countryside she fell in love with the landscape and wildlife around her. Throughout the years Stacey has studied with several different artists utilizing various mediums. Several years ago she made the transition from traditional painting materials to digital painting. The tools Stacey uses today allow her to utilize her own photographs for the base image and digitally mix paint using a tablet while applying that paint to a digital canvas using a pen tool. “It’s a fabulous mix of traditional and modern painting techniques.” Stacey finds inspiration in the works of Constable, Turner, Rembrandt, Hopper, and Emile Gruppe among others.
