Stacy Lee

What Stacy Lee does

Stacy Lee Art is a sole-proprietorship e-commerce art business founded in 2019 and operated by artist Stacy Shives (doing business as Stacy Lee) out of Raleigh, North Carolina. The company creates and sells two main product lines: high-resolution giclée prints produced via inkjet printing on archival matte fine art paper or stretched canvas, and one-of-a-kind original acrylic paintings on canvas, paper, and cradled wood panels, with originals ranging from $80 to $200 and prints starting at $47. Production is made-to-order with optional custom framing in solid wood (white, black, or natural oak) and pre-installed hanging hardware. The catalog is themed around vibrant florals and sunflowers intended to bring color and joy to living spaces.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market exclusively through its Squarespace-hosted website, stacyleeartshop.com, accepting PayPal, Apple Pay, and credit/debit cards. There is no third-party retail, marketplace, or wholesale distribution. Marketing is content-driven via an integrated blog, an email newsletter with a 15% first-order discount and a VIP Insider collector list that receives first access to new releases, plus earned media features in VoyageRaleigh, BoldJourney, and Canvas Rebel. Customer segments are individual home décor enthusiasts, gift buyers, and small-scale art collectors, with free shipping within the USA and international shipping available by request.

Revenue streams include print sales, original painting sales, eGift cards (denominations from $25 to $300), and a bundled Gallery Wall Art Set. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no institutional funding, subsidiaries, or external shareholders. Operational scale is small (8 listed employees/roles), and most originals are reported as sold out, indicating constrained supply rather than scale operations. The proprietary technical components are limited to the artist's painting technique and the giclée printing/framing production process rather than software or platform IP.

Direct peers

• Minted: Curated marketplace for independent artists selling art prints, originals, and home decor. Closely comparable product mix (prints from ~$30+, originals, framed options) and customer segment, though operating at much larger scale via a multi-artist marketplace.
• iCanvas: Online retailer offering framed and canvas prints of artwork from contemporary artists with free shipping. Directly comparable in catalog (art prints on paper and stretched canvas, framed options, sized offerings) and target buyer (home decor consumers seeking ready-to-hang art).
• Singulart: Online gallery selling curated original paintings and sculptures from independent artists worldwide. Comparable to Stacy Lee Art's original acrylic painting line ($80-$200) targeting home decor and gift buyers, with similar artist-centric branding and direct-to-consumer fulfillment.
• Fine Art America: Print-on-demand platform that lets independent artists sell framed prints, canvases, and home decor featuring their artwork. Closely comparable to Stacy Lee Art's giclee print and framing offering ($47+ prints with solid wood frames), but operates a marketplace model rather than a single-brand site.
• Artfinder: Curated online marketplace for original art from independent artists, offering paintings and prints directly to home decor buyers. Comparable to Stacy Lee Art's original-plus-prints catalog and customer segment, though Artfinder aggregates thousands of artists rather than operating as a single-artist storefront.
• Great Big Canvas: Online retailer specializing in oversized art prints, framed prints, and canvas wall art. Closely comparable in product format (giclee-style prints, multiple sizes, framed options) and home decor positioning, though broader in artist scope.
• Saatchi Art: Online art marketplace selling original paintings and limited-edition prints from independent artists directly to consumers. Directly comparable to Stacy Lee Art's DTC model of selling originals ($80-$200) alongside high-quality reproductions, but with a much larger artist roster and global audience.

Broad incumbents

• Redbubble: Global print-on-demand marketplace where independent artists sell art on prints, apparel, and home goods. Comparable as a peer in independent-artist print commerce, but with much wider product scope and lower average price points than Stacy Lee Art's curated florals.
• Etsy: Largest online marketplace for handmade and original goods, hosting thousands of independent artists selling paintings and prints. Broad incumbent where many comparable floral/original-art sellers operate, and an alternative distribution channel Stacy Lee Art has not pursued.
• Society6: Print-on-demand marketplace for art prints, canvases, and home decor across a wide artist base. Comparable product format (prints, framed prints, stretched canvases) at scale, though positioning is broader / more mass-market than Stacy Lee Art's curated floral niche.
