THE ARTIST

"Like drops of water in the ocean, we are all part of a greater whole, each with a distinct role to play and a specific light to shine. Drops are all different and unique, but there is no drop better than the other. Also, drops can change form. They are fluid. It's also my belief that with our intention, we can also change the way we influence reality. My intention is that the metaphor of the drops will guide the viewer understanding his or her place in the grand tapestry of life. Where the individual embraced their individuality while celebrating the unity that binds us all together. We are both a drop in the ocean and also an essential part of the magnificent whole, contributing our essence to the symphony of existence."

 Through her abstract compositions, she delves into the labyrinth of the human condition, exploring the intricacies of our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Her pieces serve as powerful instruments for personal exploration, intellectual growth, and the pursuit of meaning, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own journeys and question established beliefs.

She believes that art possesses an unparalleled capacity to ignite transformative change within the world. By embracing imperfection, celebrating individuality, and challenging societal norms, Stephanie encourages viewers to embrace their true selves and cultivate a deeper sense of self-acceptance and compassion.
