Stacie Krajchir's paintings incorporate words, numbers, lists, recurring personal symbols, colors, circles, and lines that translate her unique stream of consciousness. The compositions richly layered surfaces and hidden paths chart her continuing quest for self-knowledge. Stacie’s work has been described as “little maps for the psyche.”

 

As a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Stacie had the opportunity to study under a handful of well -known California artists, including Richard Shaw, Katherine Sherwood, Wendy Sussman and Drew Beattie. While studying at Berkeley, Stacie spent her time working in a variety of mediums; sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, and painting. "Sculpture satisfied my need for greater physical interaction, ceramics taught me to have courage, and through print making , my obsession with texture, paper and words were satiated. Eventually, painting just happened".

 

Krajchir says her work is meant to encourage the viewer to slow down . "We live such fast paced lives, sometimes we forget to stop and remember." Her work has been featured in a variety of solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally.

 

Now residing in Los Angeles, California she continues to develop works of art which reflect a rich and complex relationship to words, imagery and raw emotions. "Painting is like that moment in childhood, when you get to play with all your favorite toys at once."
