I have been making art for as long as I can remember. I am a muralist, tattooer, painter, airbrush artist, and digital Artist from North Carolina. I graduated with a BFA from Guilford College in 2009, concentrating on Drawing and Printmaking. Owned Anvil & Ink tattoo/studios from 2012-2022. I travel all across the country to paint murals, display my art, and live paint. I work with several art collectives on the East Coast the primary home being The Pigment Sanctuary. My painting style is non-traditional and I work to translate emotion into light and color that we are all able to perceive, and feel. Most of all, I believe art is an expression of the human experience and a necessity for our existing on this plane. Art is Life. Life is Art. True art comes from the Heart!

One of my major goals is to get my work out in public spaces so people can see it and be transported to a mind state of creative consciousness expansion. Regardless of
background, life-experience, familiarity with the subject matter, or personal taste. We can all benefit from creativity. I believe there is a correlation between creativity and mental health. Through viewing art and creating art, we are able to access deep parts of the unseen psyche and thus confront and heal parts of ourselves otherwise too painful to unearth. The best part is this healing is accessible to anyone! Art therapy works.

The ideas In my work are somewhat varied. The concepts involved can be either inner/outer worldly, and involving the microcosms of life, nature, as well as the spirit realm. There are also artworks that have been inspired by specific visions and have a distinct story to be told. True visionary art. However, the art itself has nothing to do with me. It is a relationship between the viewer as an individual and their interpretation of the works meaning, which creates the meaning. I do not give it meaning, you do! I also try to make artwork that is pleasing to the eye, proportionally, compositionally, with a wide range of Value and Color-play. From the deeply abstract to fully representational. My work speaks for itself. Please visit bryanstacy.art to view samples of my 100% original artwork.

Ultimately my art is about light, and affecting positive change within myself while hopefully inspiring others to do the same. Nurture your creativity however that may be, your soul will thank you! Art is medicine!
