Stacy Wills
Artist in Residence at the Allison's Wells School of the Arts and Crafts
A native of Savannah, Georgia, Stacy Wills has lived in Mississippi since 1985. She is a contemplative artist who enjoys working with a variety of traditional mediums such as acrylics, water colors and photography, sometimes combining them with digital technology in a process she developed called "sacred altering."
Stacy is currently serving as guest artist-in-residence at the Allison's Wells School of the Arts and Crafts in Canton, Mississippi where she maintains an open studio for the public and offers classes designed to help others tap into their own innate creativity. She is also a trained spiritual director through The Center for Ministry's Journey Partners program.
Stacy has studied extensively with Christine Valters Painters, founder of Abbey of the Arts, a virtual global monastery offering classes, live retreats and a number of resources which integrate contemplative practices with creative expression. Stacy is a member of the Abby's Wisdom Council, and co-facilitates Way of the Monk, Path of the Artist, a 12 week online course.
In 2013, Stacy joined The Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks, a group of men and women from around the world who seek to live out a compassionate, contemplative and creative life, and in 2014 was initiated into The Sisters of the Belle Couer, a sisterhood of sacred life artisans, founded by Sybil Dana Reynolds, author of Ink and Honey.
Stacy has studied intentional creativity with visionary artist and teacher, Shiloh Sophia McCloud-Lewis.
Stacy and her husband, Dan, are members of Grace Episcopal Church in Canton, Mississippi. They have three children and four grandchildren.
