Stephanie became enamored with Door County during her first visit in 1999 and became a resident shortly thereafter in 2005.  She has been interested in art and drawing from an early age and was drawn to the strong art community on the Door Peninsula.  She began studying the art of oil painting in 2015 both in the studio and plein air.  She enjoys painting landscape scenes around the United States, Europe and Asia.  Her love of animals has also inspired her to work on animal scenes and portraits.  She has attended workshops at the Peninsula School of Art and is a member of both American Women Artists and the American Impressionist Society.   Her work was accepted into the 45th Annual Miller Art Museum Juried Exhibition in Door County in 2020.  This submission won the Unanimous Jurors Special Merit Award.   Two of her works were accepted in the 43rd Annual Miller Art Museum Juried Exhibition in 2018.  Her work “The Colors of Fish Creek” was accepted into the Peninsula School of Art “From the Studio” Juried Exhibition in 2020.  She participated in the Door County Hardy Gallery Wall to Wall event in 2018 and 2019 and was part of the 58th Annual Hardy Gallery Juried Exhibition in 2020.
