Stacey Fabre attended college at Nicholls University, where she received a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in 1999 with an emphasis in Graphic Art. While pursuing a career in Graphic Art she followed her passion for painting with palette knives in highly textured style called impasto. Inspired by landscapes and buildings from South Louisiana, she has created art shown at over 100+ art shows and festivals all across Southern Louisiana. Influencing the younger generation to successfully follow their passions is something she is very excited to be a part of.
