Stacey Wells grew up in the beauty of North Vancouver where she began her love for drawing. Tragically when Stacey was two, her father Warner Wells, was killed in a plane crash when a passenger put a bomb on board the commercial airplane he was piloting. Because of this Stacey spent countless wonderful hours at her grandparents who lived on the waterfront at 18th and Argyle in West Vancouver. Her Grandfather would teach her to skip rocks on the ocean, she loved to watch the ripples in the sunlight, this is where her fascination with water light and reflections began .

Years later Stacey traveled with her mom and sisters to Australia where they lived out their fathers dream to take his family there. With stays in Fiji and Hawaii along the way Stacey cataloged the colors and sights in her mind's eye to eventually unleash in her, large vibrant acrylic paintings and unique underwater portraits. Stacey Attended Carson Graham Secondary which had an incredible art program. Wells flourished with great mentors, Wing Chow and Martin Place, who taught commercial design, lithography and sculpture. Stacey excelled in sculpture and won a scholarship award for her work. In her early work she was inspired by Andrew Wyeth and credits her technical drawing skills to hours of studying his work. As the years progressed Stacey found new inspiration in artists such as Warhol, Gauguin, Van Gogh and Dali, Stacey’s style loosened up and with each passionate brush stroke she created her own unique style.

A Decade later, while on a wine tour with girlfriends, Wells became inspired to create paintings of reflections in wine bottles after tasting wine so good it was Rock Star worthy.
