To doubt everything
or to believe everything
are two equally convenient solutions;
both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

SELECTED SOLO & GROUP EXHIBITS
Louisiana native Lacey Stinson earned his Master's in Fine Arts from Louisiana Tech in 1997. He makes art against the background of the north Louisiana hills. Chiefly known for his portraits & his North Louisiana landscapes in oil, he has recently begun to work once again in pencil. His most recent efforts focus on bringing his art to a wider public by illustrating children's books & poetry chapbooks, talking to groups of young students about art, & by painting an outdoor mural in Bernice. In these recent efforts, Stinson not only employs traditional methods; he also uses his considerable skill in manipulating computers to produce hybrid renderings.
Stinson's studio-home in the North Louisiana hill country celebrates his various interests--film noir, fossils, cooking rich pasta dishes, natural landscaping, &, of course, his rescued bottle-fed cat Pip. He partners with writer & domestic violence advocate Debra Faircloth in their newest collaboration, soon-to-be-launched Dancing Scots Enterprises & poet Benjamin Rogers in chapbook design. He frequently participates in UPPPS (Upper Parishes Prose & Poetry Society).
