Join us Saturday morning for a virtual Artist Discussion with Susan Stacks, part of The Art Clinic Online's artist discussion series.

Susan Stacks is an artist living and working in the Washington D.C. area. She makes use of layered mark-making and rule systems to stack ruminations on value, labor, illness, community, and safety. These thematic overlaps use the material of stationary supplies, the structure of atmosphere, and an identity obscured by malphorisms.

Stacks received her MFA from the University of Michigan. She is represented by Adah Rose Gallery.

Join us Saturday morning for a virtual Artist Discussion with Jackie Hoysted, part of The Art Clinic Online's artist discussion series.

Jackie Hoysted is an interdisciplinary artist exploring interconnectedness through immersive, participatory installations that bridge art, science, and ecological inquiry. Working across video, electronics, sculpture, performance, and social practice, she creates environments that reveal invisible relationships and foster empathy, reciprocity, and collective responsibility. Fungi are central to her practice. Jackie’s work evolved from growing mycelium into sculptural forms to developing installations that honor fungal intelligence without harm, translating fungal networks into DNA visualizations, 3D mappings, and generative systems that make soil ecosystems’ hidden intelligence tangible. Her approach is informed by contemporary mycology, Irish ancestral ecological knowledge, and frameworks by Robin Wall Kimmerer and Suzanne Simard, treating non-human beings as relational subjects. Since 2016, she has also co-founded ArtWatch, a DC-based artist collective focused on arts activism, producing exhibitions, performances, talks, and interventions that amplify artists’ voices and address social issues. Through research, collaboration, and participatory projects, Jackie’s work cultivates awareness of interdependence across human, non-human, and environmental systems.

Shawn Yancy is a multiple Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist and a Washington, DC news anchor with more than three decades of experience telling other people’s stories.

She has been creating since childhood, drawn to color, movement, and emotional expression at an early age. Abstract art serves as both refuge and release from the heaviness of the daily news cycle, allowing space for reflection, honesty, and creative freedom. Working primarily in acrylic, her work explores joy, tension, resilience, and the complexity of life’s layers. She was recently honored to be a featured artist at American University’s Museum at the Katzen Art Center as part of the ‘Women Artists of the DMV: A Survey Exhibition’.
