SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Stephanie Birdsall

Her goal is to share the softness and mystery that it brings to her paintings. After spending many years as a plein air painter, the heat in Tucson, AZ, chased her inside and she began painting what she describes as “a natural still life”., everything from nature or natural materials. 

She graduated from The City and Guilds of London Art School, London, England.

In 2004, she was invited to paint with the Putney Painters, founded by Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik. This ultimately inspired her move to New England and the close proximity to VT. She currently lives in a converted barn with a huge north light window.

“There has never really been anything I wanted to do, other than paint. I never travel without my supplies. There is so much beauty around us and I don’t want to miss an opportunity to capture a beautiful moment, be it a desert landscape or a glorious flower garden or simply light with its unique ability to transform whatever I am looking at. Painting is about seeing, each in our own individual way”
