About Dr. Stacey
I’m a retired podiatrist, former caregiver, and lifelong artist with a passion for all things creative. My love for art started early—growing up in my grandparents’ ceramic shop, I was constantly surrounded by color, texture, and imagination. That early inspiration never left me.
For the past six years, I’ve owned and operated SOMO Color Co, a creative studio where I specialize in physical arts and crafts, laser-cut wood designs, and hands-on crafting classes that bring people together through creativity.
As the creative world has evolved, so have I—expanding into digital arts and exploring exciting new tools like AI to complement my traditional work. Whether I’m designing with my hands or my keyboard, my mission is simple: to inspire, create, and help others discover the joy of making.
Thanks for stopping by—let’s create something beautiful together!
Why I do What I do
At my core, I believe art is connection—and digital art has opened up incredible new ways to tell stories, share ideas, and spark creativity in others. After years of working with my hands in the physical arts, I’ve embraced digital tools (including AI) as a way to expand what’s possible—for myself and for the people I serve.
Now, I’m passionate about helping others bring their visions to life—whether that’s through custom digital imagery, branding, creative headshots, or through teaching and speaking engagements that inspire and empower. I love demystifying digital tools and showing people how accessible, fun, and impactful they can be—no matter their background or experience.
Whether you’re a fellow artist, a small business owner, or someone simply curious about blending creativity with tech, I’m here to help you turn ideas into art—and make the process meaningful, personal, and full of joy.
