As she began to study astronomy and cosmology, Stacy felt compelled to paint what she was learning. She chose to focus on nebulae for her paintings. A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen gas, and plasma. Nebulae are often star-forming regions. In these regions, clouds of hydrogen and helium collapse. This causes the atoms to become tightly packed, eventually forming protostars. Some nebulae are formed when a supernova explodes, ejecting its outer layers of gas into space. Stacy based her paintings on images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

In the Spectrum series, Stacy expresses her fascination with the electromagnetic spectrum. The colours she uses span the visible portion of the spectrum. Her fingerstrokes wave through each painting as the energy we vibrate waves through the sea of light we exist in. White paint speckles and sprays across the painting, representing the flow of zero point field energy. Gratitude is a very strong, positive vibration, and the words "so grateful" are etched into the paint.
