Mandy Stobo is a Calgary-based artist. Stobo was born and raised in Calgary, with brief glimpses of the bigger world. Travel became one of the largest influences in Stobo's work. Along with her son and all the cool things in the world.

Stobo has a genuine need for play, and her constant thread throughout her work stems from this. Her joy for the process, color, flashy images, good mustaches, skateboards, Tom Robbins, Mary Poppins and the here right now allows her to explore her technique, her perception and her work to the farthest degree. Stobo will forever continue to discover new moments, wonderfully good and terribly bad, within her life and her life's work.

Her main focus at the time being is joy. She is exploring with graffiti and chalk at the moment, which is explosive and simple. In her next body of work, Stobo hopes to incorporate her many styles into stylized bomb of color and emotion.

Stobo also has the honor of working on two collaborative shows this year. With the incredible guidance of Jackie Bagley and Maya Gohill.

The RAD Show was her most recent solo show at The Gerry Thomas Gallery. June 17th, 2010.
