Kay (Ksenia) Stockton
Ksenia Stockton is a self-taught intuitive artist, visionary entrepreneur, and founder of Art Magic Studio. Originally from artistic Saint Petersburg, Russia—a city infused with history, architecture, and world-renowned art—Ksenia grew up surrounded by beauty and creativity. From early childhood she experimented with painting, colors, and textures, sensing that art was her natural language.
​
Yet, her path first led her into the corporate world. For over a decade, she built a successful career in marketing and business development, working in structured environments that demanded strategy, precision, and discipline. Though thriving professionally, Ksenia felt the constant pull of creativity—her inner compass guiding her back to art.
Over time, Ksenia expanded her materials to include natural crystals, dried flowers, and experimental mixed-media elements, adding new layers of energy and symbolism. Each piece she creates is anchored in intention—a reflection of her own dreams, aspirations, and transformations. For Ksenia, art is never just decorative. It is alive with meaning. It is a tool for healing, manifestation, and connection. Her philosophy is simple yet profound:
All art is created with intention, and all art has the power to transform.
Art Path

Seven years ago, she embraced that calling fully, discovering fluid art and epoxy resin as her primary medium. What began as personal exploration soon grew into a transformative practice. She taught herself techniques by following intuition rather than rules, creating luminous works inspired by ocean waves, shimmering geodes, and radiant crystals. Her signature style blends flowing color, depth, and texture to reflect the cycles of nature and the inner landscapes of the human soul.

This belief is what inspired her to share her passion with others. In 2019, she founded Art Magic Studio with the mission of making creativity accessible, joyful, and life-changing. Her workshops quickly became known as soulful experiences where participants not only learned new techniques, but also discovered themselves through art.
​
The studio grew into a thriving community. In 2022, she opened her first art school in Oceanside, California, and in 2024, expanded to a second location in San Diego. Today, Art Magic Studio offers a wide range of workshops—from epoxy resin ocean boards to geode art, pressed flower jewelry, fluid painting, and beyond—inviting people of all ages and skill levels to reconnect with creativity. Under Ksenia’s leadership, the studio has also become a sought-after destination for corporate team building, private celebrations, and community events, working with companies like Netflix, Amazon, LinkedIn, Sony, Intuit, and CVS.

Through these creative spaces, Ksenia shares not only her artistry but also her story: of transformation, resilience, and following the call of the heart. She inspires others to step into creativity not as a luxury, but as a practice for grounding, growth, and joy.
Her art—whether it’s a crashing resin wave on a surfboard, a glittering crystal geode, or a bouquet of dried flowers frozen in time—embodies her life philosophy. The ocean in her work symbolizes freedom, clarity, and expansion. The geodes and crystals represent inner treasures, transformation, and the beauty that emerges from pressure. The flowers reflect life’s fleeting beauty and the magic of preserving a moment forever.
Above all, Ksenia Stockton’s journey is about transformation. From a child experimenting with colors in Saint Petersburg, to a corporate leader in business development, to the founder of a creative sanctuary in California—her life itself mirrors the layered, evolving beauty of her art. She now dedicates her work to helping others anchor their own dreams and rediscover the joy and healing power of creativity.
