Stacey Maree

Hi I'm Stacey Maree, a Brisbane-based artist. I primarily use traditional mediums of graphite, inks, watercolour, and acrylic paint. My work varies from illustration, painting and printmaking. I’m most influenced by nature, foliage, woodland creatures, antiques, daydreams and fairy tales. If you're interested in any of my works or would like a commission, please contact me on: staceymaree@mail.com

Just a little something I’m working on; the third edition to the Garden Tea Party series. Two overgrown tea cups entwined in vines and foliage.

A walk in the rain or to a park, drawing, listen to music….and if all else fails a block of chocolate certainly does the trick :)

“The Garden Tea Party” - series. 2012. Graphite on paper.
The series includes works “Tea Time” and “Overgrown Teapot”
The work associates the fragile beauty of nature with fine china. The teacup and teapot are depicted with cracks and chips revealing its weathered and worn state of being neglected and displaced from its usual environment. The work explores the vulnerability of abandoned fine china against natural elements. The objects are completely overgrown and entwined in foliage, showing natures adaption to the displaced object. The foliage is shown adapting to its surroundings growing in and around the manufactured object, with growths breaking out from the constraints of the structured form.

“Alice” - First edition to the Wonderland series.
I wanted to capture the magical world of wonderland. A world full of clocks, teacups, giant mushrooms and curious creatures. Everything is out of the ordinary and nothing appears as it should. I wanted to depict “Alice” as a young lady…not so much of a small child and different from other representations. Her blank expression reflects a doll-like quality, with a motionless stance and unfazed by the teacup that sits awkwardly on top of her head. The White Rabbit and Caterpillar are also present within the scene.
I plan to create a series of “Wonderland” inspired works. They’ll be another 3 - 4 to this series…keep an eye out for the Cheshire Cat.
