Artist’s Statement
Stephanie’s artwork is a reflection of her unique and sometimes dry sense of humor, which she aims to share with others through her creative expressions. She has become particularly attached to her beloved rubber duck character, who embodies many of her own lived experiences. Embracing her identity as the "resident duck lady," Stephanie continues to create art that resonates with humor and personal connection.
Biography
Stephanie is a self-taught artist born in Jersey in the Channel Islands, who later migrated to New Zealand before settling in the inner suburbs of Brisbane. She holds a double bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing and Film, TV, and Radio from the University of Southern Queensland, graduating in 2019.
Stephanie's journey has been marked by diverse experiences, including competing as a state finalist in Miss Universe in 2018 and 2019, working as a fairy godmother at Disney World, and gaining varied professional experiences in hotels and hospitals. She also successfully ran a small business painting custom shoes, which was featured on Channel 7 in 2021.
Over the years, Stephanie has slowly developed her artistic style, experimenting with abstract art, traditional landscapes, and portraits before discovering her true passion for creating quirky characters and storylines. This artistic exploration culminated at the end of 2023, when she fully committed to pursuing a career as an artist.
