Fiber Artist
Stephanie Stroud is an award-winning fiber artist who “paints with wool”, she creates impressionistic felted paintings inspired by nature. Primarily a landscape artist, she is inspired by the variation in landscape that the world around us offers. “I work in fiber because I am a maker; I enjoy the process and tactile experience involved with assembling to create while appreciating the foregiveness and immediacy that wool allows. Textile and tactile experience are important in my process”. Painting with fluffy bits of unspun colored wool involves a delicate and deliberate layering of color to capture light, texture, and depth in soft impressionistic scenes, incorporating an element of the unexpected. The results are traditional landscapes created in an unconventional way that invite a second look.
