Stacy Nixon is a New Mexico–based interdisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, and architectural-scale installations. Rooted in magical realism and the layered histories of the Southwest and the worls, her practice explores feminine interiority, mythic storytelling, and the unseen worlds that shape personal and collective memory.

Stacy’s paintings and sculptural ceramics serve as portals into emotional, spiritual, and ancestral realms. Her visual language blends symbolic imagery, color, and narrative abstraction, creating spaces that feel both intimate and monumental—interior sanctuaries that echo ancient sites of ritual, devotion, and cultural lineage.

Her interest in antiquity, artifact, and the material remnants of human history informs her current artistic evolution. Stacy has recently begun expanding her practice into the integration of ceramics—developing hand-built relics, votive forms, and symbolic fragments that extend the dimensionality of her paintings and activate them as sculptural, immersive environments. This growth reflects her ongoing exploration of thresholds: between mediums, between worlds, and between the seen and unseen forces that shape identity and experience.

Stacy’s work is deeply connected to community, storytelling, and shared cultural memory. She is the founder of Las Damas: Artists of New Mexico where she creates opportunities for creative exchange, education, and collective artistic development across the state. Her practice embodies a commitment to building spaces—both physical and imaginative—where people can gather, reflect, and engage with meaning.

It is my belief that invisible forces are constantly acting upon our experiences in this world. We call them all kinds of different names- Fate, Fortune, Destiny, Providence, Romance, Intuition, Inspiration. But what are they really? We know they exist yet never see them, knowing them only be experience.

It is also my belief that the true work of an artist to make the invisible world visible. In doing this we experience it more deeply and begin to bring its influence forward into our concious mind. This is the ultimate goal of my work.

I choose to work in earth pigments, oil, genuine gold and silver leaf and gouache. These are materials used since antiquity and I believe their material value and honesty best illustrate the timeless and universal connections in my work.
