Stacy Caldwell (b. 1968, Pennsylvania, USA) lives, works, and paints in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where the fields, hills, rivers and streams play an important role in her oil painting, charcoal drawings, and gouache sketches. 

The journey into painting began in earnest while working at a local university where she spent evenings and weekends studying painting, drawing, and art history. In 2018 a three-week residency in an historic dune shack on Cape Cod in Massachusetts became an especially transformative experience. The isolation of the recent pandemic, correlating with the mentorship of E.M. Saniga, has also been an important influence.

In 2021, inspired by the journal drawings of François Dupuis, Stacy committed to her own daily practice using charcoal in a Moleskine journal and drawing from surprise encounters, memories, and the fleeting images of daily life. These drawings continue today and have become an important part of her practice.
