Who What When & Why


I’m Stacey. I am an artist, a painter. After getting a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art & Design, I spent years “hustling,” working various kinds of painting jobs; i.e., production painting, set design, mural work, specialty painting for architects, etc. to support my “real” work as a painter trying to show my work in galleries, get grant money, and make a name for myself so I could make a living.

I later got a “doctorate equivalency” masters degree in Fine Arts from the U of MN. I also modeled, mostly runway, for many years.

Then, I became a mom and did mostly that and art for almost a decade. When I came out of my “momming” cocoon, I was engaged to an investment banker who wanted to compete in body building.

I gave body building a shot and ended up competing nationally for a few years. I became a coach (certified trainer and fitness nutrition specialist) to support that habit which took me into the Covid-19 lock-downs.

I crossed a Rubicon in that lonely year. I saw, in a way I hadn’t seen before, what was happening in the world. It changed me. I became an investigator/researcher and applied to law school at Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law.

I earned two more Master’s Degrees in Legal Studies with a focus on civil litigation and Dispute Resolution. I became an expert in extremism. I got certified in Justice, Government Studies, Computer Science, OSINT, HUMINT, and Intelligence Analysis.

I worked for a short time as an Intelligence Officer at a private intel firm and briefly as an Investigative Reporter on an extremism beat. Now I am a contract investigator and occassionally I do volunteer OSINT investigations for Skull Games and contemplate earning a JD.

I have spent years researching the extreme right-wing in its various iterations and its connections with right-wing political and religious organizations.

I’m 55 years old and have been in recovery from drug & alcohol addiction for 35+ years. I’m also in recovery from PTSD, disordered eating, and smoking. I am extremely introverted, but not online. I have a lot to say. This site is a brief overview of my creations. Enjoy.
