Stacey is a self-taught artist with a true passion for design. Her specialties include designing the swankiest-styled stationery and recreating vintage frames to enhance her artwork. She also hand-embellishes her stationery using genuine Austrian crystals which add a captivating sparkle.
Stacey, along with her husband Patrick, daughter Emma and dog LuLu reside in Hanover, PA.
One of Stacey's favorite pastimes is browsing auctions and antique stores with her daughter Emma, who is a budding artist. Stacey recreates the treasures she finds in her signature style.. In her spare time, she and her husband also enjoy decorating and remodeling their 1906 home.
Always being artistic, having a natural talent, and an eye for design, she sat and created some of the most stylish artwork right from her breakfast table. Now, let's explore how she and her family's journey got started...
Every year a very successful and generous breast cancer survivor from their town opens the doors to her home for several charity events, which she has founded. The proceeds are all donated to various charities.
Knowing Stacey is an artist, she always calls her to ask for her generosity. In June 2008, Stacey decided to do something different. She decided to take her art and put it on stationery for all to enjoy. After they are printed, she hand embellishes each piece with her swanky style so the uniqueness shines through. They've become an instant hit!
Friends and family have always told her "You are letting your talent go to waste," so finally one day her husband looked at her and said, "When we are seventy years old, are we going to look at each other and say, 'I wonder what would have happened if you would have done something with your talents?'" So they decided to go for it!
By July 2008 she was designing everything from top to bottom: the boxes, box prints, backs, and bags to kick off their new adventure while still staying a devoted mother and wife.
This Spring 2009 Stacey is launching her new Swanky Designs at the National Stationery Show in New York City!
