Hi, I’m Stace!
ARTIST BIO
Stacey Chomiak is an author, artist, LGBTQ+ speaker, as well as an art director in the animation industry. She got her start on the well-loved series “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”. She is represented by Au Literary Management.
Her biggest passion is writing and illustrating books that represent the queer community. She is a member of SCBWI, The Writer’s Union of Canada, Children’s Writers & Illustrators of BC (CWILL), CANSCAIP and CCBC.
She lives happily nestled amid the tall trees of the West Coast, not far from Vancouver, Canada. Stacey identifies as a gay Christian, and loves to advocate for the LGBTQ community and have conversations around faith and sexuality.
When she isn’t furiously sketching, Stacey is likely to be out on her bike, critiquing her favourite Hitchcock film, or encouraging her children to dance with her to Whitney Houston.

Hi friends! I live in beautiful Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada which is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Stó:lō and Ts’elxwéyeqw peoples.
Profound gratefulness fuels my life. I love to draw, write and speak about anything to do with being a queer Christian and an artist.
Feel free to join in on the conversation by liking, commenting or emailing me at stacey.chomiak@gmail.com.
For art or speaking inquiries, please contact my agent Claire Draper @ Au Literary Management
“An artist’s job is to look at the world, and tell me what you see.”
– Derek Webb
I have been lucky enough to illustrate and write kids books, and it has quickly become my latest passion. When I’m not drawing, I enjoy hiking around BC, biking, jogging and staying up late sharing cups of (perhaps too strong) coffee.
I love to have conversations about faith & LGBTQ issues, my book “Still Stace” or any Back to the Future trivia (I know it all, I think).
I am fascinated by life and all that surrounds us. I believe there is beauty in everyone, life is too short to waste, and even a smidgen of kindness can go a long way.
“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
– William Penn.
