Stacey Rozich
Posted by Amy on Tuesday January 19, 2010
If you love folk art, then you’ll surely love Stacey Rozich’s bold folk drawings done in gouache and watercolor. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, she studied Illustration at California College of Arts in San Francisco and is quite the whiz in simple pen and ink line drawings.
Her work evokes memories of when I used to read children’s books (Asian ones), filled with images of carved Chinese lions guarding the palace gate and other mythical beings. I love how Stacey incorporates elements from various folk stories and creates beautiful creatures from them.
