Stephanie Jeanne Marie
Nomadic painter working with raw pigment, charcoal, ink, thread and slow techniques, on loose canvas or paper, resulting in abstract paintings of organic bounded forms which boundaries are tested, connected, disturbed by lines, stitching, marks and adjacent open fields. Born and raised in France, the recipient of some classical artistic training through her student years, Stephanie Jeanne Marie attributes her principal education in art however, to the doing of two wonderful and eccentric elderly aunts, great collectors of textiles and antiquities, who very early on took upon themselves to educate and guide her into the wowing and “fantastic” world of history, and the art that gathered along its path. Further along, extended travels and stays, in the Himalayan region and the Indonesian archipelago, continued to inform.

Statement
I make paintings of irregular forms that hover between bodies, landscapes, maps and cells, layered and connected with stitched lines and accumulated smaller marks. The work is an ongoing exploration of one’s inherent belonging: to life, family, place, history and nature itself. Much of my process is listening rather than deciding, allowing shapes, marks and connections to emerge through pigment, drawing, stitching and writing, while resisting the impulse to control what the painting becomes. The final pieces offer a sense of wonder, of being held by something larger and unseen, yet intimately felt, somehow known.
