Draws like the tide
Curmudgeon of the North
Ghosts and arts collide.

She enjoys a playful juxtaposition style, replicating familiar favorites and color. Steph has helped raise over $7k for local charities who support our vulnerable neighbors who are more likely to experience homelessness.

Ottawa has a vibrant art scene, and it's completely bananas to think that I'm here with such talent.
I'll do my darndest and won't disappoint- I hope that my playful pieces will make you smile. I don't have a definitive recognizable trademark style, though there's a high likelihood that I'll use lots of colour and a juxtaposition or two. I paint for the enjoyment and fun of the audience, so seriously, please don't take me seriously.
