Born and raised in Venice, California, Stark studied Art and Design at the University of Michigan, earning a BFA and Minoring in Art History. Stark’s work focuses on celebrating the beauty and diversity of women, men and non-binary individuals. With a contemporary artistic style that blends classical techniques and modern sensibilities, Stark works to capture the human form in all of its complexity, nuance and dimensionality. One of the hallmarks of Stark’s artistic style is the use of bold, vibrant colors as color has the power to convey emotions, tell stories, and create a sense of energy within a piece.
