About the Artist

Created by Stephanie Bauer, an Arizona-based artist with over 30 years of experience painting landscapes. Stephanie's practice focuses on capturing the essence of natural environments through sophisticated color relationships and layered compositions that invite contemplation. Her decades of working with landscape subjects bring depth and mastery to each abstract interpretation.

Artistic Inspiration

In the past, Stephanie painted huge landscapes on canvas, creating expansive works that captured the grandeur of natural environments. She has now discovered a technique which explores the same principles on a smaller scale, working intimately with handmade paper to distill the essence of landscape into more concentrated, contemplative compositions.
