ABOUT
Beastie and Bone is the brainchild of multidisciplinary artist Stacia Baldwin. Born in the Midwest, schooled in New England, and established as an artist in the Pacific Northwest, Stacia is now located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Working from her home studio full of nature curio, she draws on the many ecosystems she's encountered throughout the continent and a lifelong dance with chronic illness for inspiration.
Her intricately layered, entirely handcrafted paper artworks, linocut prints, and illustrations speak to the wild around and within us, and how the health of one is always tied to the other. Collectors of her originals are located across the world, and select Beastie and Bone paper originals works have been exhibited in museums and galleries across the US. These include Ghost Gallery in Seattle, WA, the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, WY, the Witte Museum in San Antonio, TX, and the North Museum of Nature and Science in Lancaster, PA. Her design clients include the Tennessee Falconers’ Association and Carcass (Kristin Hugo, Penguin Random House, 2027).
Currently, her focus is on exploring memento mori and paleoart, comparing endangered and extinct species of flora and fauna of North America, and sharing DIY paper entomology projects with crafters and nature lovers around the world with 3D Papercraft Butterflies and Moths (Page Street Publishing, 2026).
She is a member of the Knoxville Arts and Culture Alliance, and of the Craft Guild of the Southern Highlands.
Stacia is not currently accepting private collection commissions.
