Throughout her career, she has worked with renowned designers, including Michael Kors and Anna Sui, and has led marketing and public relations for nationally recognized organizations such as Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas and Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center.
Stephanie’s artistic approach arises from her fascination with process, transformation, and renewal—continually seeking innovative ways to elevate ideas and expand visual storytelling. Her latest work merges layers of resin, pigment, and mixed media to create evocative landscapes that explore renewal, duality, and memory. Drawing on her background in Fashion Design and influences from Japanese symbolism, poetry, and Italian aesthetics, Stephanie’s immersive works balance intricate detail with conceptual depth, merging personal experience and cross-cultural inspiration. Exhibited in Dallas, Boston, and Florence, she continues to develop bodies of work bridging art, design, and storytelling.
