A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Stamsta also studied at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine, the Fiberwork Center for Textile Research in California and the Banff Centre in Canada. She has won awards from UWM, Wisconsin Arts Board, Milwaukee Art Museum, Columbus (Ohio) Gallery of Fine Arts, and Contemporary Crafts of the Americas.
