Hi, I’m Stephanie Stella, an Indonesian-born artist living in Savannah, pursuing my BFA in Painting/ Illustration at SCAD. My practice is experimental and methodical, blending painting, surface design, and digital media as I explore themes from cultural comfort to diasporic identity and the footprint of the digital age. With a background in Politics and Psychology, I create across substrates and collaborate in editorial and branding contexts. I’ve shown work in Savannah, Atlanta, and London.
