In 2008, Stockman moved to Joshua Tree, California, where she lived and worked before moving to Jaipur, Rajasthan for a short time to study pigment and Mughal miniature painting with the legendary Ajay Sharma.

Stockman received her MFA in studio art from New York University, where she taught undergraduate painting for two years. A 2013 teaching fellow in the Visual & Environmental Studies Department at Harvard University, her work has been displayed in many art galleries and includes solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and New York.
