About The Artist
Hi, I'm Stephanie, a Canadian artist and photographer based in Scarborough, Ontario.
Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was raised in a very artistic household where drawing, painting, music, and creative expression were encouraged from an early age. My mother was an accomplished artist and art teacher whose encouragement, guidance, and example inspired my lifelong love of art. My father was also creative, with a passion for music and a remarkable ability to play accordion by ear.
I began drawing and painting as a child and was largely self-taught before pursuing formal arts education. I attended Cedarbrae Collegiate Institute's arts program before continuing my studies at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts, where I specialized in visual media, illustration, film arts, digital arts, sculpture, design, and life drawing. These experiences provided a strong creative foundation while encouraging me to explore a wide range of artistic disciplines.
Today, I work across watercolour, watercolour pencil, acrylic, oil, mixed media, photography, digital art, and animation. I enjoy the freedom of moving between mediums and do not limit myself to a single style or subject. My artwork is inspired by nature, atmosphere, colour, mood, imagination, and the small details that are often overlooked in everyday life.
I have a particular love for Halloween, folklore, ghostly imagery, and all things witchy, which frequently find their way into my work. At the same time, I am equally inspired by landscapes, flowers, insects, moonlit skies, changing seasons, and the quiet beauty found in nature.
Photography has been an important part of my creative journey since 2015. I especially enjoy moon photography, nature photography, and macro photography, capturing details that are often missed at first glance. Many of my paintings begin with photographs I have taken, allowing me to combine observation with artistic interpretation.
In addition to traditional artwork, I create digital art and ambient visual content that I share through my YouTube channel. I enjoy exploring how photography, digital media, animation, audio and traditional art can work together to create new creative possibilities.
I consider myself a lifelong student of art. I am constantly learning, experimenting, and challenging myself through new projects, themed collections, and creative pursuits. While my style continues to evolve, my goal remains the same: to create artwork that captures a sense of wonder, atmosphere, beauty, and imagination.
Thank you for taking the time to visit and view my work. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I experience in creating it.
