Artist and Baltimore native, Stacy Lund Levy has been creating art in many forms since kindergarten. She earned an BA from Hood College in Biochemistry as well as a MA from The Johns Hopkins Art as Applied to Medicine program. Combining her artistic talents with her intellectual interest in anatomy and science, she initially worked as a medical illustrator. Stacy then opted to establish Lund Art Studios, a career move that enabled her to take on a variety of clients locally and nationally, and to jury shows, teach classes and workshops, give demonstrations, and exhibit her artwork. She is a signature member of the American, Baltimore, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia Watercolor Societies, as well the AWA, American Women Artists.
Artist Statement:
“There is very little rhyme or reason to what catches my attention and I chose to paint. I love both portrait and figure drawing. Catching a person or animal in that split second of time, with a telling expression or posture, is my goal. Having that figure surrounded by objects which supply clues to their personality is even better.
I am also drawn to textures and patterns that I am initially unsure of how to recreate with paint on paper. Trying new techniques and experimenting with my materials keeps painting interesting to me.
Lastly, I love detail and clutter. The more the better.”
