Stacey Gledhill is a New Zealand-born painter based in Oxford, UK. Working with modest, tactile materials - oils on wood, paper, canvas - her paintings traverse landscape, light, gardens, and the fleeting rhythms of daily life.  Central to her work is a search for life’s quiet magic and the human longing for beauty and stillness. Beginning from observation, Gledhill often allows her paintings to shift into invention, guided by intuition, imagination and playful exploration.

Gledhill moved to the UK in 2010. She studied painting and drawing for four years at London Fine Art Studios, an atelier dedicated to teaching the figurative tradition through the canon of European Art History. She has exhibited with the Federation of British Artists, at the Mall Galleries in London, and at Leighton House Museum.  Gledhill has been featured in Artists and Illustrators magazine (Oct 2021) and in 2019 she was shortlisted for the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize.  Since 2021 she has been teaching and leading workshops for all experience levels, including for Oxford University and Daylesford Organic.
