Biography

Born and raised a Connecticut Yankee, Stacey Gregory was one of the chosen few who received her BA in fine arts and art history from the University of Pennsylvania, standing proudly alongside 2200 engineering, business, and pre-med majors. She attended Pratt Institute, studying Communication Design while working in packaging design for Donald Deskey and Associates in NYC. After two years, she headed to California where she met her husband and began a life crisscrossing the US while raising two daughters with a 150 lbs Newfoundland in tow. Eventually she landed on California’s Central Coast, a Connecticut Yankee flummoxed by Santa Cruz, she migrated south to her final destination: the breathtaking Monterey Peninsula.  

Her artistic career blossomed as a member of Open Ground Studios in Seaside, CA. Current political and social issues fuel her conceptual artwork. She references ancient history, current events, scientific research, and art history to weave together facts, timelines and often a soupçon of humor into her conceptual assemblages.  She has exhibited works in San Francisco, Chicago, Sacramento, Oakland, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and West Hollywood. Her work is held in private collections in San Francisco, Carmel, Emeryville and the Napa Valley. She is a member of the Northern California Women’s Caucus for Art, the Chico Open Studios Art Tour, and The Artist Alliance.
