About the Artist — Starcia Ague

Starcia Ague is a justice‑focused visual artist, educator, and advocate whose work transforms lived experience into bold, expressive storytelling. Her paintings are rooted in resilience — shaped by a life that has moved through trauma, survival, healing, and ultimately, empowerment.

Through color, texture, and movement, Starcia creates pieces that speak to the complexity of identity, the weight of memory, and the possibility of rebirth. Her art is not just visual; it is emotional, political, and deeply human. Each canvas becomes a space where truth is honored, pain is acknowledged, and transformation is celebrated.

Beyond the studio, Starcia is a nationally recognized leader in juvenile justice reform, using her lived expertise to advocate for second chances and trauma‑informed systems. SMA Creatives is the bridge between these worlds — a place where art fuels impact, and impact fuels art. 

Her work invites viewers to feel, reflect, and connect. To see themselves in the colors. To find healing in the movement. To remember that every story — including their own — is worthy of being seen. To learn more about her click here.
