About the Artist

Stacy Weitz Minch is a traditionally trained artist currently residing in Utah. Throughout her childhood and young adulthood, Stacy enjoyed art as a hobby before deciding to seriously pursue painting in 2015. Stacy studied at the Master's Academy of Art in Springville, Utah from 2015-2020, learning naturalistic drawing and painting techniques. She has also taken workshops from multiple artists throughout the years, and considers herself a lifelong learner in this field. Stacy centers her artistic endeavors on portraiture and figurative themes, always seeking to transmit an aspect of human emotion or experience in each work she creates. Outside of painting, Stacy works part-time as a Speech-Language Pathologist, and enjoys spending time with her husband, two kids, dog and cat in the beautiful landscapes of Utah.
