Stacey is a Taungurung/Boon Wurrung/Bunurong woman with traditional cultural connections to the Naarm/Melbourne region. Stacey's grandfather and his siblings were removed and would later become the Stolen Generation. Stacey has been living in Naarm/Melbourne and has been exploring her art and culture more recently since being in prison and signing up for the Torch Project in 2017: "My inspiration is the beautiful designs and patterns from traditional artefacts of my ancestors. Painting diamonds is healing for me. Now I’m on a journey of healing and that comes in all forms, including art" Stacey is exploring and reclaiming southeast Australian designs through her bright and colourful paintings, referencing concentric diamond designs from traditional shields and clubs from South-Eastern Australia.
