About the Artist

Stacie Amelia is a multidisciplinary artist whose work delves into the complexities of identity, self-expression, and the human experience. Since 2020, her artistic practice has deeply evolved, exploring the use of digital photography, mixed media, and experimental print techniques such as cyanotype, liquid light, and plant-based processes.

Her art is deeply personal, drawing on themes of transformation, emotional authenticity and the masks we wear in society. Using dramatic narratives she invites viewers to reflect on hidden aspects of themselves, creating work that de-stigmatises feelings and encourages introspection.

Stacie’s creative process is immersive, new to this is integrating performance, theatre, and movement into her photographic sessions. Inspired by her background in dance, psychology and psychodrama, these sessions evoke raw, emotive imagery, serving as the foundation for projects such as ‘Who Are You and The Silence Between Your Thoughts!’.

In addition to her visual work, Stacie is a trained journalist and psychotherapist, which brings depth to her storytelling and understanding of the human psyche. Her journey has been shaped by profound personal challenges and growth, all of which feed into her art’s authenticity and emotional resonance.

Stacie has been featured in the Visual Arts International Open each year since 2020, achieving finalist status in 2021 and shortlisted each year following, since gaining critical acclaim. Despite these successes, her focus remains, rather, on creating meaningful shared human connections through her work, helping both herself and others to explore, understand and express a more authentic self.

Now in a period of personal and professional transition, Stacie describes herself as being “in a liminal space,” intuitively preparing for a new chapter in her life and art. Her work continues to evolve, blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques and collaborative processes, always with the intention of creating art that speaks to the the soul in others.
