Stephanie is a Seattle born and based artist. Creating art from a young age, she returned to her passion through acrylic and pencil mediums eight years ago. Travels throughout the US and Europe, and Africa influence her work, much of which is focused on femininity, thought, self reflection and beauty. Her multicultural background, education in social justice and varied life experiences contribute greatly to the subject of her personal work.  

For her art is more than a visual stimulation. She sees art as a way to create connection, a method of provoking self reflection, and a tool for building community.She often uses symbolism to convey a message, but also leave room for the viewer to interpret that message for themselves. Stylistically, she uses bold bright colors and layering paint in ways that create depth and motion.

Stephanie is a University of Washington graduate who holds her degree in Law, Society, and Justice. Starting her Arts & Entertainment company, AxSM Art LLC in 2016 she has since made strides in building community through creativity and has worked with a wide array of community and corporate partners.She prides herself in being able to identify a goal and build programming and systems around it with innovation, intentionality, and care. She is also the Founder of Made Space Seattle, an Arts, Culture, and Event Space space in the heart of the Central District with a focus on Black creatives and entrepreneurs.
