Stephanie is an Australian Artist living on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Primarily working with acrylics, her intuitively driven paintings reflect playful compositions that touch on botanicals, coastal landscapes, maximalism and nostalgic textiles.

Though Stephanie’s art practice is constantly evolving, she is always passionate about exploring the beautiful tensions within a painting, such as the happenings of chance and intent, the layering of soft and vivid hues and the act of gesture and precision.

Stephanie grew up in Brisbane and moved to Melbourne after graduating from the Queensland University of Technology where she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) degree. In 2022, she returned to Queensland and settled on the Sunshine Coast. She finds daily inspiration in the regional colours, textures and shorelines.
