Stephanie Stroud received a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design where she majored in illustration. A 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 forgiveness and immediacy that wool allows. Texture 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. Stephanie shows her work at regional art shows including the South Coast Artists Open Studio Tour. Recently, she was awarded Best in Show for her interpretation of Vincent Van Gogh’s “Wheat Field and Cypresses” at the annual Fakes and Forgeries exhibit at Spring Bull Gallery. Stephanie is a Custom Framing Designer at Riverside Art in Somerset Massachusetts and is currently the Membership Chair for South Coast Artists.

Discover how fluffy bits of colored wool can be transformed into impressionistic landscapes. Stephanie will demonstrate how she paints with unspun wool by needle felting, mixing colors by carefully layering and creating texture and depth with color.
