A Walk With Water
This series responds to the transformative potential realized through encounters with new and familiar spaces near bodies of water. This is Stephanie’s chief source of inspiration given its tremendous power – as a force of nature, a site of cultures, and a life source to its location.
Fleeting, Flowing, Flying
Stephanie often goes for walks as a means to ground herself and as part of her studio practice. In this series she layers imagery from her walks with abstract mark-making created through the process of stain painting. This layering of forms speaks to the layered experience of connecting to a place, be it an emotional, mental, or physical bond.
What Keeps the Water in the Sea?
What Keeps the Water in the Sea? is a metaphor for the things that hold us together as we move through the unknown. The bedrock of the earth and gravity keep the water in the sea. Similarly, everyone chooses their own foundation when navigating change. This body of work celebrates the spirit of moving forward through transition and transformation.
Why Do Fish Jump Out of Water?
This series reflects on the feeling of duplicity where you are in one place but longing to be in another. You feel pulled in one direction but life has carried you to where you are today. Like water, life moves and changes to carry you where you need to go.
