About The Artist 

Stacia Yeapanis is a Chicago-based, interdisciplinary artist, educator and writer. She explores the relationship between repetition, desire, suffering and impermanence in cross-stitch embroideries, remix videos, temporary collages and improvised, sculptural installations. Yeapanis is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Fiber and Material Studies at SAIC, where she earned her MFA in 2006 and won a Marion Kryczka Excellence in Teaching Award in 2020. Her first monograph was published jointly by Aperture and The Museum of Contemporary Photography in 2009. Yeapanis has been an Artist-in-Residence at Chicago Artists’ Coalition’s BOLT Residency, Vermont Studio Center, Facebook Chicago and Zócalo Apartments in Houston, Texas. Her solo exhibitions include shows at Siena Heights University (Michigan 2013), Heaven Gallery (Chicago 2014), Indianapolis Art Center (Indianapolis 2017), Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery (Palos Hills, Illinois 2018) and Kent State, Stark (North Canton, Ohio 2019), Finlandia University (Hancock, Michigan 2020) and Material Exhibitions (Chicago 2022). In 2023, Stacia launched Color Is My Dopamine, an umbrella under which she creates one-of-a-kind home goods, gifts and accessories by transforming the materials used in impermanent, improvised installations into sacred secular objects for everyday use.
