Stephanie Fazekas

I specialize in letting the art speak to me

I am Stephanie Fazekas, a native of Detroit, and an emerging self-taught mixed media artist. ​Since childhood, I’ve had a passion for creation—whether it's writing, crocheting, designing ​candles, or sewing. Over the past two years, I have honed my skills in painting and digital ​illustration, fostering a consistent practice in these areas.

My creativity is sparked by dreams, conversations, nature, and my life experiences. When ​inspiration strikes, I usually grab a piece of paper or my iPad to capture the whims of my ​imagination. I then sit with the idea, allowing myself time to figure out how best to bring it to life ​on its intended medium. This process allows my mind and hands to collaborate, creating pieces ​that I am proud to share with the world.

Although acrylic is my primary medium, and I prefer to create with my fingers or palette knife, I ​allow my creative spirit the liberty to experiment with various mediums and tools. All objects ​within my reach are fair game. Everything is subject to be painted or used to paint. This ​exploration results in pieces that aim to inspire joy and harmony within both myself and my ​audience.

My "Women on the Hall" series is a tribute to women and the myriad roles we play in our daily ​lives, which continues to fuel my journey as an artist.

"Wild Wall Flowers" is a series that I consider my signature work, encapsulating both my ​metaphorical and literal perspective on life, love, and the celebration of both.

In a gesture of love and gratitude, I often give my artwork as gifts. To me, art is more than a ​hobby – it's life, therapy, and a means of deriving and expressing immediate gratification.
