Mr. & Mrs. Pshyk

"Together we have discovered who we are, our dreams, and how we want to live our lives."

Stace and Amanda have captured the beauty of dance performance, the macro side of nature, fashion shows, and celebrity parties. They’ve been members of the Yukon Art Society, a part of the Yukon Artists _ Work Cooperative, the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival, and various galleries. The Yukon is full of adventures and quiet wonders alike, and this couple sought out as much as they could. Freezing for the Yukon Quest dog sled race, braving the bees for a simple flower, this is what they lived for. But after all the memorable experiences they shared, there was only one direction left to journey in, south.

Vancouver drew them in like Gaga to glitter, and didn’t disappoint. The Pshyk’s celebrated with Raphael and Lisa-Marie Mazzucco, and lived it up with Semi Precious Weapon’s Justin Tranter, and New York’s Lady Starlight. But all that frivolity was just the beginning. Too many good friends were beckoning in the lively city of Calgary. Stace and Amanda happily explored the art and fashion scene, and had a blast in the 'City of a Million People'. With a year of southern exposure complete, it was back to the Midnight Sun for the summer.

The Pshyk’s are determined entrepreneurs, and are proudly self-made. They are continuously advancing their knowledge, and are now using their skills to help other artists and businesses express themselves, and achieve their goals.

“We are so blessed to be making our living with our imagination, and sharing our lives with someone who desires the same.”

Artist Statement

My world is a sensory journey, and the inspiration for my art in channeled from the intense way I experience life. A sight, sound, flavor, texture, or fragrance impacts my thought process, and I create from these feelings. I have always been fascinated by light and it’s interaction with everything around me, and I often react emotionally.

I desire to capture this experience in my photography so as to share it with other people. I express my enjoyment of the subject, often in a very biased view, and hope to alter the way one sees things in the future. I believe that the imagination is capable of freeing our senses, and thus redefining our lives. There are so many facets to our world that our natural eye cannot see, so it is this vision I wish to express through my digital eye.

My jewellery satisfies a need to create with, and wear color. I create from my feeling and the energy of my mood. I want to give the bejeweled a sense of travelling to another place, channeling an emotion, and wearing the elements. I employ a free-form sculpting technique in fashioning my jewellery, and cannot live without Swarovski Crystal, Gemstones, Flame-work and Czech Fire-polish Glass, or silver and enameled wire.

The human body is capable of extraordinary expression, and language. It is worthy of our attention and adornment, and should be enjoyed at any opportunity. Age, shape, color, all of these add to the body’s vocabulary. Armed with such tools as exotic fabrics and clever lighting, the body’s movements can transcend the natural, and become the most beautiful artform in the world.

Artist Statement

The Yukon gave me a new inspiration, and I have experienced the freedom to allow growth and expansion both in my life, and in my art. I enjoy creating through photography, Digital Art, Video, Ink Painting, metal sculpture, and even stone carving. Through my art I have found myself, my identity.

I desire to speak and challenge through my photography: force the viewer to pause and figure it out. I love that confused, yet amused expression on people’s faces.
