“When I get frustrated with how a drawing or painting is being created, I will "flip" it upside down so I can finish it. I find that working on a drawing or painting upside down helps me see the piece from a new perspective and allows me to refine the piece until I feel like it’s complete,” said artist Stacy Schilling. “I learned how to draw upside down from my seventh grade art teacher, Mrs. Schwartz. Learning to draw upside down helped train the right side of my brain and I feel like a better artist when I work upside down." Stacy began her art career as a young girl with coloring books, arts and crafts, latch hook, needlepoint and cross-stitch. Stacy’s passion for art got an enormous boost from her seventh grade art teacher, Mrs. Schwartz. Her creative expression and fulfillment flourished with a year-long place mat project and painting. Her development as an artist continued as she wrote and designed her own book and magazine, took drawing classes, advanced as a painter by learning to look at color and shape instead of the entire object, immersed herself in photography and mastered the printmaking process. Stacy's passion for art emanates from every piece she creates, whether it’s a drawing, painting, logo, brochure, Web site or keepsake gift. Stacy earned a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Northern Kentucky University and made the Dean's List. She also received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Kentucky.
