Enter Stacy…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

My name is Stacy Steinborn and my home is in a little suburb outside of Nashville called Spring Hill TN in the USA.  I am a happy wife of almost 14 years and one of the reasons I am so happy is because I agree to agree with my husband that we both march to our own drum, but somehow it produces harmony.  And in the drumming of our life, we have been joined by two little girls that have their own little percussion section going! We have a 14 year old diabetic min pin and the most wonderful evil kitty in the world!

I am the kind of girl who prefers swirls over rigid lines, I read my magazines from back to front, and I love making a mess to make something completely amazing in the end.  That is one reason why I love mixed media.  My mixed media journey is rather young.  I have always painted, but my hands were needing to get more involved.  I started around September of 2010.  I love using things such as recycled paper, magazines, lace, blue jeans, gauze and rope to collaborate into something that was not, into something that is inspiring or completely different.

I don’t know if I have a certain style, I do some sculpting in a lot of my art with my fingers, paste and some lucky recycled item.   I believe that I can start with something in mind and in the process of adding and sculpting in a mixed media piece, the work changes into what it wanted to be.  I have loved art my entire life.  I read a quote once and it is the closest thing to what my soul feels when I look and admire art.  It is:

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” ~ Thomas Merton

This is exactly why I love art.
