Artist Walk & Talk with Stacey Carter

Description

Stacey Carter was born in Cape May, NJ and received her BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia. In 1991 Carter moved to San Francisco, CA where she currently lives and works. Through creative observation, Carter's work offers insight into the changing urban environment. Her artworks are layered multi-media compositions based on photographs, which are then transformed using a unique combination of skilled printmaking techniques and spontaneous expressionistic painting. Her body of work is a study of how individual experiences define one's environment. The subject matter: buildings destined for demolition, representing a past experience to preserve. Carter's work is an acknowledgement of what has passed and its importance to the present. Familiar imagery can freeze time, allowing individual histories to be recalled and shared once more.
Carter has exhibited her mixed media paintings and works on paper in a solo and group shows at galleries and museums throughout the United States, including George Krevsky Gallery, San Francisco; the National Steinbeck Center, Salinas, CA; and the Oakland Museum of California, Oakland, CA. She has been the recipient of many awards and honors including a residency at the Contemporary Artists Center, North Adams, Massachusetts; the Golden Image Award of Excellence in Serigraphy from the International Screen Printing and Graphic Imaging Association; a Trustee Award selected by artist Nathan Oliveira for the National Steinbeck Center; and a nomination for the Fleishhacker Foundation’s prestigious “Eureka Fellowship Award”. Major commissions include an ongoing series of paintings for the NFL team Baltimore Ravens.

Free with admission. Talk begins at 7:00pm.
