Publish date: 2024-04-25

Stevie Nicks' creativity knows no bounds. Although she's best known as a musician, she has also forayed into other artistic ventures.

In 2014, Nicks stepped into the exciting world of television with an appearance on Season 3 of "American Horror Story: Coven," Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk's acclaimed FX anthology series. Part of the season's plot, per the Los Angeles Times, involves a "swamp-dweller" named Misty Day (Lily Rabe) who has an infatuation with the singer, seeing her as a "White Witch." In the episode "The Magical Delights of Stevie Nicks," the rock heroine herself finally steps onto the screen, playing Misty's mystical mother figure.

That same year, as reported by Bustle, Nicks also curated an exhibition at the Morrison Hotel Gallery's locations in New York and Los Angeles. The artwork on display? A series of self-portraits, taken with the help of "an old school Polaroid, tripod, and a cable release" over the decades. Nicks discovered the joys of self-portraiture in the mid-'70s, when she would style herself for impromptu photoshoots in the wee hours of the night. Nicks never expected anyone else to see the pictures she took — but about 30 years later, she and her producer Dave Stewart stumbled upon them while recording her solo album "24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault." Stewart was astonished by the quality and encouraged Nicks to share them with the world. The exhibition was a success, depicting the different phases of her career in vivid color.
