Stacey Hildreth

Make a Mark is the personal studio of mixed media Artist Stacey Hildreth.

"I like to juxtapose intricate detail with abstract imagery. Starting with printmaking and blending in a variety of media and techniques including drawing, painting, encaustic and embossing. My current work explores the beauty and fragility of our natural environment. Pattern and texture play a major role in the storytelling."
