Painting Details

This series is for those who are grasping for something to hold onto in a sea of transformation and change. It was created when Stephanie was preparing to cross oceans and leave one home for another.

In some way, we are all looking for a place to call home – a place to feel grounded, something we can hold onto. But life, like water and air, is filled with movement and change.

Perhaps that change is what we need to hold onto after all?

“I have been following Stephanie's work since she was Artist-in-Residence at the Pfister Hotel. The extraordinary work from her residency caught my attention. The pieces felt like meditations on place and travel. It was like falling into a poem. “ -David M.

The Process

How the work is made.

Stephanie's process is similar to the bodies of water she loves to paint - fluid and ever changing. She loves mixing different processes, such as printmaking, collage, painting, and digital photography. She often blends recognizable elements from her surroundings or memories with abstract shapes, whether by painting over collages or transferring them onto various surfaces.
