Hi my name is Stacey and I am the founder of Ocean City Arts. My dream has always been to turn Art into a career path and this is another stepping stone in the arty direction. My passion is teaching and Art has been the biggest influence in my life to date, so being able to blend these and teach a wide range of artistic skills on a daily basis is incredible.
With a BA (Hons) in Media Makeup and a Master Degree in Creative Education, I'm thrilled to be able to pass on my creative knowledge and experience and help others with their creative journeys. I have worked on film sets, pirate ships, painted murals for local restaurants, worked with a local primary school to build a Memorial Poppy Wave, created logos for local businesses and have drawn/painted countless commissioned pieces- and now its time to help others build on their creative CV's.
My home is Plymouth, the Ocean City, so it made sense to utilise this fantastic place and begin building a creative community. We are so lucky to live here in the South West with The Moors in one direction and the sea the other, so inspiration is definitely not in short supply.
I have been fortunate enough to be able to host exhibitions and craft fairs in Plymouth to help showcase students' work, which has led to art sales and even more people being interested in Art. My aim is to make Art accessible and affordable, so when the time is right for you, take a look at some courses or contact me for more info. Hopefully see you on a course or at an exhibition soon!
