Biography
"My markmaking is very liquid; it feels wet. Some of the large pieces really look like water. I grew up near the sea. I grew up sailing. I learned how to swim before I could walk. I think it is inseparable from my relationship to water in my practice; they really are safe spaces for me."

Multi-disciplinary artist Stacie McCormick is Los Angeles-born and London-based. Creating paintings primarily on canvas and paper, producing works that are abstract & gestural. Using ink, acrylic and oil, her paintings are often referred to as hypnotic, meditative, powerfully calming, calligraphic and beautiful. Stacie has a daily practice of rehearsing her gesture in preparation for larger paintings resulting in a strong portfolio of works on paper. The appearance of spontaneity is rigorously studied, a result of over 30 years of work - ‘training’ her gesture. She earned her Masters in Fine Art from City & Guilds of London Art School and runs the non-profit art initiative Workshop Foundation, started in the US in 2009 and now based London since 2015. Stacie has a remarkable commitment to fellow artists, having sponsored over 120 artists and curators by providing space and time through residency and exhibition programmes.
