Stephanie Moon has been painting and creating for as long as she can remember, blessed with a creative childhood in rural Michigan. Her early experiences intertwined creativity with nature, exploring the shores of Lake Michigan, making wildflower bracelets, and finding animals in the clouds. As she grew up, Stephanie’s love for the outdoors deepened, inspiring her to tell the earth’s story through her landscape paintings.
“Look at my work and find the radiant, euphoric joy of an experience in nature. Find peace, curiosity and love for all of the wonders of the universe.”
Her artwork is a collection of small marks and lines that come together to create lively, moving landscapes. Stephanie captures the fleeting beauty of nature, from vibrant sunsets to the darkening sky. She believes in telling the earth’s story by finding beautiful places and letting her hand decide the marks that best represent them. Her work is known for its small details, flowing lines, and bold colors.
Born and raised in Michigan, Stephanie spent summers at the lakeshore and her grandma’s cottage in the woods. She pursued her love of natural beauty through art, starting with classes at Kendall College of Art and Design and majoring in Painting at Western Michigan University. In 2009, the beauty of Colorado called her, and she moved to Colorado Springs, where she now resides.
When she’s not teaching, Stephanie enjoys hiking and exploring the mountains, drawing inspiration from her experiences with nature and wild animals. Each of her pieces reflects her deep connection to the natural world, bringing its patterns, movements, and mysteries to life on canvas.
Her latest collection of original pieces will be unveiled at our next virtual art show “Beyond Beautiful“, which opens on August 15th at 10am MDT. The show will close on August 17th at 6pm MDT. Be sure to create your free Collector Account early so you are prepared for the show open!
