Bio
Growing up in Landover, MD, Stacey Lane's family encouraged him to dream and create. Self taught, Stacey practiced different mediums and grew to enjoy oil and pastel paints. In 1986 he took his only formal art course at Prince George's Community College. By mid-term, Stacey was failing his class due to the unwillingness to conform to the professor's instruction and style. In protest, he submitted a 14"x17" portrait of Sade in soft pastels. His final work for the course took him from an F to a B+. Following his experience with formal training, Stacey turned to his friends' old art books and trips to museums in Washington D.C. to supplement his desire to learn. Claude Monet became one of his favorite artists.
In 1988, Stacey Lane Patterson gathered with like-minded students at Morgan State University and founded ALPHA NU OMEGA Inc., the first Christian Fraternity / Sorority. He later designed their shield. ANQ saw the need to encourage fellow students to return to glory through the worship of Christ. Today, there are over thirty-five chapters. He also conducted demonstrations for elementary students to encourage imagination and freedom through art.
Stacey's trust is that God said "...let us make man in our image, after our likeness,..."(Gen.1:26) and formed the man from the soil of Africa (2:10-14). So, the first man is captured in the light of God's glory and life is good. He and his wife communes with God naked and unashamed. Adam later disobeys God and is banished from glory, leaving the future generations in darkness. Now, man must relearn LOVE to return to the life God intended. Stacey believes the "Light of the Ancestors" is in glorifying Christ.
Stacey's wife and children are his inspiration for sharing God's word through oil and pastel paints. He continues to glorify God so that his children and their children's children may know the "Light of the Ancestors" too. Stacey believes encouraging one another towards the "Light" is the most meaningful act of love in this life.
