Artist Statement
Speaking of her work Stephanie says “This piece is based on my experience connecting with the nature of Lansing and Michigan's environment as a whole. Growing up, I have vivid memories of observing frogs along with my Aunt in the Lansing area. The imagery of tadpoles forming from the frog's body represents past ideas and memories forming something new, to later form its own new creations. Fantasy and the natural world always finds its way into my work. The idea of fascination with the world stems from ideas a child may have while exploring the outdoors.”
