Services

  • Art consult including 3D modelling

    I visit your home or business to assess the space, taking photos and measurements to guide the artwork selection and placement. I then use 3D modelling software to mock up your space and present options for artwork proportion, positioning, and framing. With my training as an architect, I bring a considered and practical approach to the process

  • Art commissioning and sourcing

    I can either create a custom artwork tailored specifically to your space and vision, or we can explore existing pieces through the network of collectors and artists I work closely with

  • Framing facilitation

    Framing can be complex, but I can act as the middleman between you and the framers, helping to find the right price and product to suit your needs. I can also assist with updating the frame or the artwork if a refresh is required

About

I’m Steph - a mom, artist, architect, and urban design consultant.

My art offers a unique view into nature, capturing its raw, earthy groundedness. Each piece is designed to bring warmth into your space, serving as a daily reminder of the beauty that surrounds us.

Currently, I’m inspired by the organic textures and finishes of charcoal. I love layering charcoal to achieve depth and contrast, from rough, expressive strokes to soft, shaded details. Trees and landscapes are my favourite subjects, reflecting the majesty of our wonderful mother earth.

Thank you for taking the time to view my artworks. If you’re interested in collaborating on a custom commission, I’d love to explore bringing your vision to life.
