Stacy Deal

I am an artist, a mother, a business owner, and a fierce believer in the power of creativity to connect, inspire, and heal. Balancing a full-time job, co-owning a diamond painting company, and raising my incredible neurodivergent child—all while navigating my own neurodivergent experiences—means my days are full, challenging, and deeply rewarding. Even with these responsibilities, I always carve out time to create, because art is my way of expressing stories that need to be told.

My journey into AI and digital art began in 2023 under the mentorship of Rose Proffitt, who challenged me in ways I hadn't experienced before. Through her guidance, I found new ways to push the boundaries of my creativity, using digital rendering as a tool to bring emotions and experiences to life. What I love most about my art is the connection it fosters—whether it’s a moment of recognition, comfort, or empowerment, I am deeply moved by how people engage with my work.

I collaborate with muses who help bring authenticity to the themes I explore. My Resilience Art captures deeply personal stories, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. Much of my work is inspired by mental health, LGBTQ+ experiences, and those navigating invisible disabilities or medical conditions. I take great care in ensuring that I honor these perspectives by engaging with individuals whose experiences align with the art I create, making sure the emotions and struggles are reflected accurately and with respect.

Color is a fundamental part of my creative expression. Whether through soft pastels or bold, electric hues, my images often carry a vibrancy that speaks to the energy and emotion behind them. Alongside my more introspective pieces, I love bringing my quirky characters to life—fun, unconventional, and always a little outside the box. They remind me that art can be playful, unexpected, and full of personality.

Above all, I am humbled by the impact my art has on others. When someone sees a piece and feels seen, heard, or represented, that is the most fulfilling part of what I do. I welcome conversations, feedback, and suggestions, as they deepen my artistic journey and remind me why I continue to create. Whether I am illustrating resilience, joy, or simply celebrating color and imagination, my art carries the essence of storytelling, connection, and unapologetic expression.
