Stacy Shorr

Bio for Website: Shorr thinks of art as language just beyond words, an expression of something that may not be able to be otherwise articulated in the moment and that art is transformative to both the creator and the viewer. The experience of being a woman, disabled, and her beliefs color her energy and her work. While disability doesn't define her, it does create obstacles and difficulties that often call for creative solutions. Shorr works in acrylics and oil, often incorporating metallics in her works, and enjoys trying new techniques and mediums, as it keeps her inspired, as does community. Shorr's work varies and includes portraiture and abstract work, the latter of which includes multimedia, symbols, and inventive created languages. Shorr's work has been shown in a variety of formal and informal settings, more recently including Cambridge Art Association, Fay Chandler Gallery, Jamaca Plain Library, Gilman Square Art and Music Fest, Beacon Hill Art Walk, The Menino Art Center in Hyde Park, Art Haus Gallery, and Till Wave Gallery. She has also enjoyed community use of her images and artwork by NAMI, Mass Council of Churches, Till Wave Gallery, Art in the Park for Childe Hassem Park for fundraising and outreach.

Materials and Techniques: Using acrylics or oils I create portraits, stylized realism, and abstract art works that often incorporate metallics. Some of these pieces are intuitive and multimedia. Drawing from our daily lives and local culture, I hope to capture the world just beyond words.
