Stephanie Strange

When Stephanie Strange moved from her native land of Texas in 2001, she found a new home and a new career in Chicago, Illinois. After just one year as a Chicagoan, she decided it was time to stop working graphic design and to embrace her passion of visual art. She now lives and works in a studio located on Glenwood Avenue in Rogers Park. Here she
explores a process of energy by using graphite, ink and paint on paper.

Strange approaches drawing with a sensitivity to process. Evolving similar diminutive elements into larger bodies, she tells stories of energy created by the will to communicate. She considers the working relationship of medium and technique an exchange of information. Often choosing pencils, pens, paints even typewriters for marking qualities; paper for abilities to receive marks. The images Strange creates are full of depth, tension, and movement.
