A painting should feel personal,

like holding onto a moment you

never want to forget

SJ Studio

Meet Stephanie

I'm a contemporary artist inspired by places and moments that feel layered with memory, story and soul.

A lot of my work comes from my love for the South and it's culture, the Appalachian Mountains, and the kinds of places or moments that stay with you long after you leave.

My paintings are full of texture, color and a little bit of chaos.

I believe a painting isn't just something pretty to hang on a wall. It should remind you of your favorite place, your favorite people, that trip you're still talking about three years later, OR, if your me it would be the food.

I've always been drawn to nature and the way certain places stay with us long after we leave them. Through my work, I hope to bring that feeling into your home. I want my paintings to feel warm, lived in and meaningful.

My style teeters on traditional influences with a more modern, expressive approach. Think heirloom meets slightly unhinged color palette.

I love using unexpected color, rich texture and layered brush strokes to create depth and movement.

My Story

Basically, I traded corporate meetings for oil paint and emotional support coffee, and I've honestly never been happier.

But if you want to know the full story of how we got here....

I've really always been an artist (as any creative will say), but it was always my 5-9 after my 9-5. I studied oil painting from a young age but never really put my work out in the world. I was a corporate girly after all - office in the city, business casual and a career ladder to climb, the whole thing.

And honestly? I really loved it. I also just really love painting.

Enter the big C (IYKYK). Stage left. 2020.

I got married and had a baby and suddenly life looked completely different overnight. Painting quietly fell to the side for the first time in my life while motherhood and corporate life consumed basically every ounce of my energy.

If you're a mom, especially a working mom you probably already know where this is going.
A couple years later I found myself burnt out, and overwhelmed and deeply confused about what I actually wanted anymore.

Then, just to keep things exciting my husband deployed the week after my daughter turned three.

I desperately needed an outlet while solo parenting, so I picked my brushes back up again.

After not having painted in what felt like an eternity it was like putting on your favorite old sweater. The paintings just started pouring out of me, and somewhere in the middle of the chaos I realized: this wasn't something I could keep treating like a side hobby.

Enter the sabbatical, stage right. 2024.

For the past two years I've been pursuing art full-time while soaking up my daughter's wildly fleeting childhood and renovating our very questionable 1970's lake house somewhere in between.

These days, I've been exploring still life's and my love of history through them. The things that we collect, the personal pieces that hold story, nostalgia and a sense of place. I've allowed myself to have a child like play and these have truly been some of my favorite pieces to date.
