Bio

I'm an Artist from Buffalo, New York and I'm super excited to start teaching and sharing what I've learned and practiced with others! In 2017, I received my Bachelor's Degree from University at Buffalo in Biological Sciences with a Minor in Studio Art, and my Master's in Medical Art from University of Dundee in Dundee, Scotland in 2019.

I love all kinds of art and illustration, so in addition to scientific art, I'm passionate about character design, cartooning, and fantastical art! My first introduction to the art world was through learning animation. I am inspired by all sorts of cartoons, they are where I get my energy and creativity from!

I am happy to teach Adobe Photoshop, Animation, Drawing, Painting, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Animate, Krita, Clip Studio Paint, and Adobe Premiere Pro.

I would love to see what you're inspired by and bring your creativity to life! Please get in contact if you'd think we would be a good match!

Approved Subjects

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

I’ve worked with Photoshop to enhance and edit photos, draw, paint, and design graphic material since 2015. I’ve worked with professional clients, students, and complete beginners to help their goals come to life with as little stress as possible!
Animation

Animation

Through my degree qualification, I have learned animation techniques using Adobe Animate and Krita specifically. I prefer to animate hand drawn, frame by frame graphics, and can also instruct animation for vector art as well. I am happy to give instruction for realistic figures and graphics, but love cartoons and fantastical styles as well! I am inspired by all types of cartoons that capture and exaggerate people, animals, and environments!
Drawing

Drawing

Through my studies of Medical Art, I have extensively studied drawing realistic forms. While teaching, I keep in mind shading techniques, color theory, and rendering forms accurately with contrast, lighting, and attention to detail. Drawing lessons can occur in traditional forms such as pencil, pen, micron pen, or traditionally through drawing programs such as Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Krita.
Graphic Design

Graphic Design

I have a Masters Degree in Medical Art and have been teaching for the last 5 years! I have studied using the Adobe Creative Suite, plus other programs such as Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, FlipAClip, and other software. I am happy to flex to whatever software you may prefer, and I am happy to bring my artistic theory to you at your own pace!
Painting

Painting

Through my education as a Medical Artist, I have learned painting techniques in Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, and Gouache paints. I am also happy to teach digital painting through programs like Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Krita! I am happy to instruct painting in many different styles-from realistic to cartoonish and everything in between!

Color Theory

As always Stacy was super informational. I learned about color theory during this lesson and lot of new terms. Also got some practical application in on the concepts.

Helpful and Expressive

Stacy is always doing her best to see where youre struggling and where you can improve. Her consistent advice has helped me grow more confident in my work and enjoy the learning process. Can't wait to continue our sessions and see where the progress leads. Big thanks!

Knowledgeable teacher

My subject is "Introduction to Art " and the teacher explained me very well, she is an expert in her subject. She wanted to make sure the student understands their topics.

Knowledgeable, Patient and Very Helpful

Stacy is great to work with- I recommend her if you have close to zero experience (like me). Stacy knows Photoshop, is patient with beginners, and knows how to teach. My lessons with Stacy are worth it for sure.

Art Online!

Stacey was very clear, patient and personable in guiding our neuro atypical daughter through drawing a cartoon character. Our daughter was very happy and proud of her work. It was a type of work she had never previously achieved!!!

Wonderful teacher

Stacy provided a very engaging first lesson introducing my 10 year old daughter to the world of CSP. She was thoughtful and prepared and tailored the lesson to the interests and ability level of my daughter. We look forward to many more!
