Performing Arts Teacher

 

Born in Brisbane and lived in many parts of Australia. Lived in Innisfail district since 1990 coming here to teach primary school.

 

Batchelor of Arts in Literature and a Graduate in Education.

 

Stasia has rekindled her interest in drawing and painting in 1997 when she started attending "Art Classes" and has been involved in several local artist exhibitions.

 

2007 - Very successful exhibition entitled "If Walls Could Talk" with 22 paintings, showcasing the buildings and stories of Johnstone Shire.

 

A book of the same title was produced by herself and Jacque Duffy (also profiled on Artists Directory), another local artist and writer, which included all her paintings and all Jacque's stories that were in exhibition.

 

Stasia has three children, a husband, and lives on a farm, works part time teaching, plays lots of rugby and touch footie and doesn't like eating cooked celery!

 

Stasia is currently painting for exhibitions  in Innisfail in August 2008 (Central Arcade Gallery) and the Innisfail Art Society Biennial in October 2008. Stasia is also completing painting commissions which keeps her very busy.

Satasia is happy to accept commissions and is working towards being a full-time visual artist, but is working part-time teaching primary school. Also a volunteer worker and member of Innisfail art Society.

"I am a visual artist that uses several mediums to express my version of the things around and beyond me; the people, the places, events, stories and natural sounds. I appreciate the beauty and splendour of the ordinary and everyday and enjoy portraying the humours of life."

Stasia also enjoys playing or watching Rugby, photography, cooking and red wine.
