Dr. Stacey’s artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in her personal journey with alexithymia, a condition that once obscured her ability to articulate her emotions. Through her art, she has found a powerful outlet for self-expression, using digital tools such as photography, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Procreate and  generative AI to create vibrant compositions. She often employs techniques like digital painting, photo manipulation, and layering to achieve the desired emotional depth and visual impact in her work.
