Today we’d like to introduce you to Stacy Beam.
Hi Stacy, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I grew up in n Alabama going to horse shows every weekend in the summer. I I started painting equine portraits then, and stayed very busy. But I was burned out, tired of commission work age by twenty and took detour as a musician. Now I have come back to oil painting full time, painting landscapes, abstracts and the occasional portrait.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I wouldn’t say it’s been easy, but trying to do anything else would have been a lot harder! I’ve also had some really good luck along the way!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I paint textured large scale oil paintings. People have said that my paintings buzz with energy, that they feel alive! That’s what I hope. I love playing with color and light. I’m most proud of the emotional impact that happens when people connect with my work.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
I’m naturally inclined towards creating, always have been. But I’ve also been driven to order my life in a way that allows me to do the work- I just never stopped. I’m obsessed, and I pretty much won’t do anything else!
