Early life and education

Stocki was born in 1979 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She studied at the University of Manitoba, where she received both a BSc (Chemistry) and a BFA degree. She received a Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in 2009.[3]

Work

Stocki's paintings have been exhibited in Paris, New York and Los Angeles.

Her photographs have been described as "little retro gems," that appeal to viewers' nostalgia, but can also have a raw, street photography quality.[4] Stocki prints her images on silver gelatin, and tints them by hand.[4] Her works' retro feel is produced by the processes by which she creates them, including film sprocket holes and layers cut and pasted by hand. The street photography quality of her work is often referenced to the "indecisive moment," a term coined and made famous by photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.[5][6]

Stocki was awarded the international Tierney Fellowship in Photography for emerging artists in 2009, the same year as South African photographer Tracy Edser.[7]

Her work is in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art[8] and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[9]
