Stephanie Duffy
My work falls into two categories: first, I dive into myths, dreams, emotions, and self-reflection through painting and sculpture. In the other, I work with materials that release dopamine in my body, like feathers and crystals. My vacillation between soul-searching depth and self-soothing informs my art as a form of inhale and exhale, expansion and contraction.
My training is primarily in studio arts and art therapy, having studied everything from ceramics to transpersonal psychology along the way. My relationship with creativity is fundamentally guided by my understanding of art as inherently therapeutic, and human nature as inherently creative.
My creative focus changes like the weather and with the seasons, and I find myself inspired to return to painting as I’m crafting crystal suncatchers, and planning new ceramics projects while I’m experimenting with jewelry. Outside of creating, sharing, and selling my art, I offer creativity coaching services.
