Hi! I’m Stacey, aka “Sparkles”. A little about me…I’m a self-taught professional artist embarking on a journey I never expected. While Covid was a difficult and annoying time for all of us, I was able to find something positive, changing my life in an amazing way; A transformative journey to say it lightly. Little did I know a serendipitous encounter with a paintbrush and a canvas would soon ignite a “sparkle” within me. I felt this unexplainable connection to the world of art, a hidden wellspring of creativity within me. I realized quickly I have a calling which extends beyond my own creative pursuits. I had this overwhelming desire to share my experiences and what I was learning, with others. My passion for art became the inspiration behind my little business called "SoCal Paint Parties", an outlet where I could teach and encourage others to indulge in their own creative self. My journey into the realm of art is a true testament to the human spirit's clarity for reinvention and self-discovery. It is my hope and prayer to inspire countless others to embark on their own artistic journey, whatever that may be.
