STACY MILRANY
Most of Stacy Milrany’s work is inspired by her observations of ordinary daily life—sometimes the beautiful, sometimes the bitter, sometimes the mundane—just documenting the truth as she sees it and remembers it.
She works in a variety of media and especially appreciate those which provide an inherent degree of imperfection and surprise.
Stacy’s style has probably developed from an appreciation of candor, color, storytelling, and absurdity. Along with her love of watching human behavior and how people move through this world together—as one giant herd of crackpots.
Rain, Rhythm and Resilience is a continuation and evolution of themes Stacy Milrany has explored over the past few years: movement, mood, and making sense of an increasingly unpredictable world. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest, the work reflects the region’s colors, climate, and contradictions—ferries and forests, dance steps in downpours, and plenty of Payne’s Gray skies. But more than the weather, many of these pieces are about weathering. Stacy is a mixed media artist who uses various combinations of acrylic, charcoal, pencil, collage and oil—often sanding back through layers to let older marks re-emerge. The smudges, foggy transitions, and flashes of color reflect a process that’s both intentional and improvised.
