About Stasia

Anastasia is an artist originally from Ukraine. After being adopted by an American family, she lived in the United States for 13 years before relocating with her family to Toronto, Canada, where she has resided ever since.

Stasia is captivated by human faces and eyes, which are a central focus of her work. She paints and sketches in an abstract, expressive style, using acrylics on canvas, wood, cardboard, and other found materials that she repurposes into her art. Her creativity extends beyond painting—she also discovered a passion for jewelry making, working with polymer clay to handcraft, unique, one of a kind, earring designs.

Her Goal

Stasia aims to continually develop her artistic skills and work toward supporting herself independently as a full-time artist.

She is committed to thoughtful craftsmanship, using handmade, eco-conscious packaging and sourcing nearly all her materials locally to ensure her business aligns with her values.

Her main objective in the growth of her business is remain true to her values and lead by example for other small businesses by carefully considering the impact of her creations, her ‘matchstix’.
