Artist Stacie Flint’s complex and colorful oil paintings and illustrations have been exhibited and published throughout the United States and Europe. Her commissioned portraits and scenes of daily life are in many public and private collections including those of film director Shawn Levy (Date Night; Night in the Museum) and Ulster County Area Transit headquarters in Kingston, NY (five large canvases depicting bus staff and passengers). Her images have been published as magazine covers (including two for the Chronogram), children’s book illustrations, and album covers, and used on a drum set and as a stage set. Flint illustrated the children’s book “Ten Pigs Fiddling”, written by Ron Atlas and published by Amberwood Press. She was selected among notable artists from the US, Europe and the Middle East to create a painting for inclusion in the forthcoming book of art, “How To Paint a Donkey”, from a poem of the same name by Arab/American poet, Naomi Shihab Nye, and compiled by Louise Greig.

Born in Long Island, NY, Flint studied at the State University of New York colleges at New Paltz, and Empire State, and with the Women’s Studio Workshop, Rosendale, NY. Flint feels inspired by the color intensity of the Fauves, the immediate energy of German Expressionism, as well as the joyful feeling of Matisse. She currently lives in the mid-Hudson Valley in New Paltz, NY. Flint is represented by Gallery on the Green, Pawling, NY.

Artist Statement

In my work I am interested in the vibrant and alive everyday moment. Within the strong and colorful composition of each painting, I portray people, pets and objects that are separate and individual, yet clearly connected. Asymmetrical and contradictory, the overall image pulls the viewer into a scene that vibrates with positive energy, feeling, and balance..
