Stacey Roberts has always been an artist, painting in her free time, even while working in finance and raising a family.

This year, she decided to embrace the arts more fully as a career .

Her inspiration these days comes from her son’s food allergies.

Her paintings of Hershey’s Kisses and Sugar Daddy Candies hit the mark, finding attention and collectors.

We talk about creativity, the business of art, her first commissions, and living with food allergies.

You can see her work at Stacey Roberts Art

She is also on Facebook and Instagram
