BIOGRAPHY
Originally from Colorado, Stacie Birky Greene received degrees in Art and Art History from the University of Kentucky. She has also studied in Florence, Italy, and at the Chicago Art Institute. While painting was the focus of her training, she has explored her art in a wide variety of media, including performance, photography, and video. The central focus of Stacie's recent work has been to explore nature through a combination of materials and techniques. One often finds in her work a surprising interplay between light and material, as the use of wood, metal, and encaustics twists a subject's identity in favor of revealing a textural undercurrent. Sometimes she makes a similar statement by juxtaposing seemingly disparate images. In either case, the parallels she draws between subject and material forms a poetic that transcends media boundaries.
Birky Greene lives in San Diego where she was a frequent exhibitor and her art is in public and private collections. She has taught art to children and adults for the last nine years
