New York artist Stacie Flint’s expressionist oil paintings reflect her life: a colorful, direct, playful narrative of ordinary moments in the suburban lifestyle, which include people, pets and the things that surround them.

Stacie studied at the SUNY colleges of New Paltz and Empire State, exploring through an expressionistic eye a painterly realism, mixed media , abstraction, and resulting in a focus on the figure as a means to express her life experiences in art.

Stacie Flint’s paintings are collected in the United States and Europe. The images have also been used as magazine covers, for children’s book illustration (“Ten Pigs Fiddling” by Ron Atlas), on an album cover, a drum set, and a stage set. Stacie Flint also paints private and public commissions. One of her portrait commissions is in the collection of film director Shawn Levy (Night In The Museum, Date Night), and in 2009 she completed five large canvases for Ulster County Area Transit in Kingston, NY, which features staff and passengers of the buses. In 2010, she has been selected to create a painting for inclusion in the forthcoming book, “How to Paint a Donkey”, from a poem of the same name by Arab/American poet Naomi Shihab Nye, compiled by Scotswoman Louise Grieg. Ms. Grieg has chosen artists from the US, Europe and the Middle East to paint donkeys, serving as a metaphor for individuality and self belief. The book will be distributed throughout the UK and on Amazon.

Stacie works and lives with her family in the Hudson Valley.

Artist Statement

My paintings reflect my life, which is a colorful, direct, playful narrative of ordinary daily moments, inspired by the fast paced suburban lifestyle. In these vibrant expressionist oils, imaginary people, pets and things appear isolated, but interact within a bold composition. Even the quiet figures vibrate with energy. I love doing my work - it makes me feel good to be alive!
