Today, I was interviewed and filmed in my studio for Shaw TV’s “Go! Vancouver” show!
It’ll be a short piece, and it was so much fun filming it! I discuss different paintings and projects I’ve worked on, including my Eggshells on Rice paintings for Dine Out Vancouver!
It will air at the end of January. I will post more details once the date is confirmed. Stay tuned!
I have created a new series of paintings specifically for the Dine Out Vancouver event!
These abstract paintings are mixed media, with acrylic paint, rice, and eggshells. They will be on display at a special Dine Out Vancouver evening put on by Frances Hui of FHS Events, at the Pink Elephant Thai restaurant on January 22, 2013.
Please see the Dine Out Vancouver website for tickets, and additional information.

It’s such an honour to be part of the Light of Hope event at Inner Evolution Healing Centre, in Vancouver BC. This is a charitable event in support of orphaned girls in India. A selection of my paintings is currently hanging at Inner Evolution, and I will be donating 50% of any sales to the Light of Hope charity.

About Stacy Sakai
Stacy Sakai is a Canadian artist, based in Vancouver, BC. She spent her childhood in South America, Florida and northern British Columbia. From an early age, her interest in art was influenced by the teachings of her father and grandmother, both also artists.
Over the past twenty years, Sakai’s involvement in the art industry has covered a diverse range of work. Her experience includes writing, work in film, curating, as well as event planning and production for art shows and live performance from here in Vancouver to New York City.
Sakai enjoys painting with freedom to create abstracts that emphasize colour. Her recent work combines her interest in astronomy and cosmology with her unique painting style. Studying the images from the Hubble Space Telescope inspired her to capture the colourful impressions of galaxies and nebulae in her paintings. In this way, she creates work that is abstract, yet specific.
Sakai’s art is a rich fusion of her intellectual interests and her expressive creativity.
