Stacey Kamp is a Northern California artist whose work explores nature, memory, and transformation. Raised in Marin County, she was immersed early on in the region’s creative community and nurtured by a grandmother who taught her oil painting, pottery, and photography.

At eighteen, Stacey began working for renowned dollhouse artist E. Lansdown at Hunters Point Studio, assisting with sales and learning faux painting and trompe l’oeil techniques. She later joined Bill Graham Presents, helping create ambiance for performances at the Warfield and Oakland Coliseum, and managed events for multiple production companies in her twenties.

While building a career in education and event management—including serving as Art Director for the Marin Interfaith Youth Outreach Teen Center and Events Director at Marin Art & Garden Center—Stacey continued painting privately. In 2004, she began to develop her first cohesive series, the Birch paintings, inspired by a desire to create art for her own home.

The loss of her father in 2009 marked a turning point in her creative life, as painting became a deeply meditative and therapeutic practice. Immersing herself in her studio provided a sanctuary for processing grief and rediscovering calm presence. That transformative experience ultimately led Stacey to formalize her lifelong belief in the healing power of art by pursuing advanced training as an art therapist.

Today, she is a licensed psychotherapist and board-certified art therapist, integrating the same mindful, restorative approach to creativity that sustained her personally into her clinical practice. Her paintings are collected nationally and internationally, reflecting both her aesthetic vision and her commitment to art as a vehicle for connection and meaning.
