About Stephanie

Stephanie is a self-taught watercolor artist
who paints from the heart.

She began painting in 2019 after some students of hers asked her what she did for fun.... and she realized that she had no idea! She always enjoyed art and creating things as a child and admired the beauty of watercolor. And so she started painting and never stopped.

Stephanie's art is in corporate collections and galleries and was awarded a People's Choice award at the Carroll County Arts Center Members Show in 2022. She is a featured artist for Lew Wilson Art, creating paintings of loved colleges and universities. In 2023 she was selected for the competitive artists residency at Chateau d'Orquevaux in France and awarded the prestigious Diderot grant to attend.

When she's not painting, Stephanie is a professor of psychology at McDaniel College where she studies the intersection between the psychology of art and play. 

She grew up in Minnesota, but now lives in Westminster, Maryland, with her husband and two children.
