Bio

Stacie Dastoor is a graphite and mixed media artist. A Cincinnati native, she has spent time in New York City, Chicago and Rogers, Arkansas. Her work has been featured in the prestigious Joy Pratt Markham Gallery at the Walton Arts Center, Interform’s Assembly: The nation's first art and fashion biennial, and other galleries in Northwest Arkansas and Ohio. Stacie's profession is a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery nurse; her study of anatomy compliments her passion for creating emotive images focused on the human figure.

Select artworks feature a number which indicates the order of the original in her Sunday Sketches series.

Artist Statement

“My profession in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery allows me to blend my work and passion for portrait art because of my intense study of human anatomy. I work with faces and bodies everyday, and both respect and appreciate the complex emotional aspects involved with my work.” She explores the multi-faceted genre of beauty through the lens of emotion. Less about whether the image itself is “beautiful,” she delves deeper into the storytelling via images and music to tease to the surface what lies within, and invites the viewer to uncover the nuanced emotion hiding behind the facade of a beautiful encasement. The stories uncovered are meant to be the viewer’s own; the image a prompt for a conversation or a shield from the exposed emotions it may uncover. She finds beauty in the rawness of a vulnerable moment. With today’s filters, re-takes and augmented reality, it is rare that we capture and celebrate our true emotion, unedited.

“I don’t want to draw the curated picture from your camera. I want to create what’s inspired from your diary.”
