I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.

— Frida Kahlo

Artist Statement

"But the way to enjoy the city of art thoroughly is to take a room there and stay awhile."
—Alexander Eliot

Stacey Walyuchow (1975 Calgary, AB)

Inspired by experiences, memories, music and the many faces of women, I create mixed media artworks. My intention is to create stories and situations that break the passivity of the viewer by developing scenes that do not follow logical criteria. Stories that bring the spectator into a narrative that could be of dreams.  My work is  based on impactful situations from my own life experiences and some inspired by story and song lyrics, though each piece is open for interpretation.  I want the viewer to personally feel something when they look at the work. A sense of wonder, a strong emotion, even a determination to figure out what each element represents. 

Through juxtaposing women and other human forms with birds and moody, abandoned landscapes/structures, I want to provide a glimpse into those hidden places in our minds where we store all of the things we have yet to work through, the things we believe we should  forget, and the things we long to remember.
