about stephanie
I returned to painting after studying at University four years ago and I found myself venturing into an abstract and surreal domain of art. This contrasted with the realistic style I used to paint in, growing up. However, I have always enjoyed painting scenes that portrayed an underlying story.
I began to incorporate themes of life, death and the vastness of space in these abstract pieces, using vibrant contrasting colours and strong textured shapes to give an edge to the natural world.
This looser approach to painting caries forward into my latest pieces, which have been increasingly inspired by humanities’ influence on the environment and fellow species on Earth. Octozoa and Mutated Depths are un-subtle in their reflection of our affect upon the oceans. Other paintings like my mural (pictured right as part of ‘Watch This Space’ live art event) and Colours of the Rainforest are a look at the beauty of threatened species.
I'm currently based in Warwickshire, pursuing my dream of working in video games, whilst exploring my journey through painting in my spare time.
