About Stacey Brown
I am an Artist working in mixed media and collage, paint, drawing media, photography, jewelry design, furniture painting, raku pottery and encaustic. In my other life, I am a Psychotherapist in private practice, an Educator and the mother of three beautiful, smart, active daughters.
As a Therapist and Educator, I integrate art and the creative spirit into my lessons and counseling. I've has offered workshops and classes helping people to find a personal and playful approach to art making. I just love it when someone tells me that my artwork and teaching inspired them to seek joy, to try something new in their own life and to begin or continue working on their own art with new confidence.
After moving to Fort Myers, Florida from Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1980's, my partner and I created a successful wearable art jewelry design business. Using handmade papers, metals and pottery, we sold locally as well as nationally. Sales representatives and wholesale apparel markets helped the jewelry to appear in boutiques and galleries from Canada to Guam. Stacey and her partner were guest artists at the Dallas Apparel Market and in a Miami Macy's Trunk Show. The crowning achievement of their jewelry business was to sell jewelry to 35 Macy's South stores (three times!) ... all before the internet!
Stacey's artwork continued to develop through graduate school as she mastered Raku Pottery. Her wall platters and pots were used by interior designers throughout Southwest Florida.
A steady stream of handmade jewelry, vintage reassembled jewelry, painted furniture and home decor continued to be produced and appear in local galleries despite having a career as a counselor and professor, renovating an old house and raising three daughters.
Today, Stacey is paying more attention to painting and collage works. With workshops, online classes and other projects in the works, Stacey's creative spark continues to evolve and change based on new interests and curiosities.
