Lil Crow
Artful Objects for Contemporary Living
Hi, I’m Stacey — artist, designer, mom, wife, and a true “Jill of all trades.” For over 30 years, I’ve been creating work that blends authenticity, thoughtful craftsmanship, and refined simplicity — whether through sculpture, painting, pottery, or jewelry.
I hold an MFA from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a BFA from the University of Kentucky. My work has been featured in many local, regional, and national exhibitions and publications. I’ve also had the chance to mentor and teach as an adjunct faculty at UK, EKU, Georgetown College, and BCTC. Alongside creating, I’ve served as a gallery director, juror, public speaker, and teacher in schools and community art programs throughout Kentucky.
Before launching Lil Crow, I owned and operated MADEky, a working studio and gallery in downtown Lexington’s Historic Distillery District. I’ve also worked as a graphic designer for several large-scale manufacturing companies and now continue that work on a freelance basis.
These days, my time is focused on the Lil Crow brand and creating small-batch, intentionally made pieces. I believe in handcrafting work that feels grounded, soulful, and meant to be used and loved. Behind the scenes, I’m lucky to have the support of my husband, Steve — who I reconnected with after more than 30 years. He runs Sip Sip Olé, a tequila review brand, and when he’s not busy tasting, writing (or tasting some more), he’s helping with the marketing, packing, shipping, and heavy lifting that keeps Lil Crow moving.
