About the Presenter

Bringing color soaked neon dreams and fantasies to life has been the name of Dandy Pantz's game for as long as they’ve been putting ink to paper. They’re a multi-dimensional multi-disciplined powerhouse of creativity with a loyal following and a strong focus on building a community. Based out of Fayetteville, AR, they travel the country creating art, building interactive installations, fantastic costumes, designing products and anything else they can conceive. Leaving everywhere they go a lot more colorful than when they arrived. From Music and Art festivals, concerts, galleries, public events and more, they’ve been invited to share their work at some of the premier events and gatherings around the U.S. Stacy, inspired early on by comic books and video games, began illustrating and painting as a child. Before anyone could say “go” they were leveling up and trying different things and picking up new skills through sheer determination and being open to new artistic experiences. Over the last few years Stacy has been focusing on installations. Crafting thought provoking, mind bending, or just downright whimsically fun pieces of interactive art that invite people to have their own experiences. Alongside their passion for installations they continue to lend their hand running galleries and painting in a live setting. With the expressed intent of curating a safe space for creative minds and open hearts, they are hoping to inspire current and future generations to join in the joy of creative expression.
