Artist Stacey Wexler makes drawings and sculptures that examine physical deformities, psychological abnormalities and the fear of being on the outside of regular middle class society. A hallmark of her work is the combination of mixed media and the tactile qualities inherit in the mediums. In works that exhibit a strong sensibility, she is able to explore the beauty of freakishness through her visual narrative.

Originally from New Jersey, her talent for visual storytelling began while in high school taking everything from ceramics to painting. Receiving her Bachelors of Fine Art in ceramics from The University for the Arts in 1983. While in college she was the recipient of several awards for artistic achievements, including the President's Purchase Award. She continued her education, graduating from Claremont Graduate University with a Masters of Fine Art in sculpting in 1985.

Wexler’s work has been exhibited at venues throughout the United States and internationally, in Italy, Germany and Russia and received residencies in Italy, Canada, and most recently Hungary. After graduating she worked in the entertainment industry producing sets and props for twenty years, before attending Art Center College of Design with a specialization in computer graphics
