Stephanie Sheppard

​

Stephanie Sheppard is a Western Australian multi-media artist with a
predominant interest in portraiture.

 

She works with a variety of
mediums including oil, acrylic, pastels and charcoal, and printmaking.
She enjoys working directly from life to produce lively sketches and
paintings of the sitters, producing a spirited style of work.
She values capturing the likeness and expression in her finished
portraits choosing colour and brushwork to evoke a mood, in an
attempt to draw in and hold the viewer.

 

 Her work has an expression
of both skill and confidence, to seize a moment, which is evident in
each final piece. 
The importance of an eye-catching composition, followed by accurate
values in shadow and light are components held steadfast in whatever
she paints and draws, be it portraiture, still life, or landscape. She
prefers always to work from life when possible.

Stephanie has her own studio within The Newcastle Street Collective
space, 39 Newcastle Street. Perth WA 6000 where she offers tuition on
drawing and painting by request.
