About Stacy
Welcome. Since 1994 I have been enjoying creating works on paper including etchings, limited edition prints, monoprints, monotypes, drawings and paintings.
You will see that nature inspires my work - this is a result of my training as a scientific illustrator and the landscape in which I am lucky enough to live. Are you interested in taking a printmaking workshop? I am offering private sessions for groups of up to four in my home studio. Subscribe to my mailing list to learn about time slots for classes. You will also receive updates about new projects and events. Arranging a studio visit to browse my collection of artwork starts with a text or call to (415) 497-2203 or an email to info@stacyfrank.com

I am pleased to have been selected as one of the 55 artists participating in the Sanchez Art Center's annual fundraiser called the 50|50 Show. Over the course of fifty days each artist creates fifty pieces of art. To keep the layout uniform we all start with the same pre-cut 6" x 6" Masonite panels.
The pieces will be hung in a 7 by 7 grid with one free-standing image. I have planned out my design so that each row will have a main color so when all 49 pieces are assembled together will read as a pastel rainbow. With 28 completed so far I have 22 more to create before our August 11th deadline. The 50 mixed media pieces I am creating feature the recurring theme of arches - symbolic shapes that bridge divides. During these divisive times we need harmony and positivity. Each piece will be titled by the text from a dictionary page incorporated into the art. My goal is to separate the negativity from words by removing 'dis' thereby neutralizing the context. Disgrace becomes grace; disharmony becomes harmony and displeasure becomes pleasure.

A friend just sent me this photo while at Kaiser in Santa Clara. Great to see my original monoprints out in the wild!
Verdure 23 and Verdure 27 framed in shadow boxes - an attractive way to hang pieces that have a deckled edge which is a product of the hand-made nature of this paper.ption
The 2024 Santa Cruz County Open Studios was a big success! Check out my visitors reacting to the 'big reveal' during my printmaking demonstration.
The Filoli Gardens' Art Walk which showcases forty hand-picked local artists was a grand success on the weekend of July 27th and 28th.

I've been working on a new series of mixed media and collage pieces. My goal for this grouping called Arches is to create 100 by the end of January 2025. Click on the image to see a gallery of some completed pieces.
I am pleased to be the featured artist on Grand Image's site for August 2024. They sell reproductions of some of my monoprints to the hospitality and design industry. You can read the blog post here.
BOTANIC
A lovely, cohesive set of monoprints mounted on cradled panels and framed in oiled fir float frames. A selection of these pieces are now listed in my shop!
