Stacey Sass retired from a 32 year long career teaching in both high school and community college art programs. She is now focused on the wonderful challenge of creating watercolors “from life”. Whether painting while boating, camping or in front of a seafood still life, it is the aqueous nature of the water media that fits her aesthetic preference for loose, expressive imagery. Many of her paintings are created while sitting in her anchored boat.

Presently living on the eastern shore of Maryland, she is active in several art organizations throughout the state and competes in numerous plein air competitions each year. Stacey earned her MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 1987 and continues to study with master watercolor artists.
