The Exhibition, ‘Dandelion’, explores the herbaceous plant as an analogy to cultural differences, value systems and societal expectations of appearance and conformity. “The difference between a weed and a flower is judgement”.

Stacey Stuart is a self taught abstract Artist who graduated from Waterloo University with a degree in Social Development Studies. Raised by an art professor and practising artist, Stacey combines her fascination with human behaviours and cultural differences with her artistic process.

Stacey’s creative process involves layering acrylics and epoxy resins which are then carved into, rubbed and drilled. Bits and pieces of a challenging past are revealed through the canvas, grounded by lighter more ethereal areas.

‘What I have learned through my painting and scraping and building of layers and textures (as is my creative process) is that what matters is that I respect and honour my own value, find a way to throw my roots down wherever I am tossed and continue to proffer wishes for the world around me.’ - Stacey
