Watercolor West International 2025 Award Winner

Aquarius 2024 Award Winner

Stacy Weed is an international award-winning artist and Signature Member of the Central Coast Watercolor Society. Based in Atascadero, California, she draws endless inspiration from the region’s diverse landscapes, picturesque coastlines, and historic architecture. Working primarily from her own photographs, Stacy focuses on capturing the vibrant light and character of the Central Coast.

Originally trained as a chemist, Stacy brings a unique appreciation to the science of her medium—finding beauty in how pigments blend, diffuse, and react on paper. She embraces the beautiful unpredictability of watercolor, turning every piece into an engaging creative study.  When she isn't at her easel, Stacy can be found exploring the coast with her husband, running in the rolling hills, or spending time with her family and many grandchildren.
