Hi I’m Steph

I’m an artist & designer living in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula creating on Bunurong land. To say I have been painting all my life would almost be true - I'm told that I painted my first still life when I was 4 (a bowl of fruit). So at the very least, painting has been a part of my life for a very long time

Creativity is in my bones, and as a qualified Graphic Designer I have the pleasure of using my creativity every day. However, spending all of my time in front of a computer screen simply doesn’t work for me, and I’ve always painted as an extra creative outlet.

After an early pregnancy loss in 2019, I leaned heavily into my art practice as a way to heal and live with my grief. Since then I have slowly woven art and design together and both of these passions are a huge part of my life.

My inspiration stems from the untamed, the textural, the colorful, and the free. Nature, with its wild beauty, has become a boundless source of creative energy. Every sunset, every rustle of leaves, and every burst of color in the sky finds its way into my creations, infusing them with the essence of the outdoors.

Outside of my studio, I find joy in replicating the exquisite moments of life spent with my family. Camping trips under the vast open sky, seaside adventures with the sound of crashing waves, and simply basking in the serenity of the outdoors.

Experimentation and collaboration lie at the heart of my artistic journey. I believe that true creativity thrives when boundaries are pushed, and ideas are exchanged. Whether it's collaborating with fellow artists, engaging with clients, or experimenting with new techniques, I'm driven by the belief that art is a dynamic, ever-evolving conversation.

This journey is weird, wonderful, and undeniably beautiful, and I'm here to celebrate every moment of it.

Thank you for being a part of this creative adventure.
