About
Stephanie Kurtyka
Fine Artist
Stephanie is a fine artist creating works of acrylic and watercolor paintings and photography. Her artwork is inspired by literary characters/places/moods and her many exotic travels. The art tends to depict landscapes and details (both real and imagined) that touch her soul.
Stephanie graduated from McDaniel College in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art and Art History, and a concentration in Photography (both digital and film). She then graduated from The George Washington University in 2016 with a Master of Arts in Art Therapy, and became a licensed, registered and board-certified Art Therapist and licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. The complement of her own artistic journey along with sharing the growth and healing process of making art with her clients, has shaped Stephanie into a passionate artist who creates from the heart and allows her emotion, vulnerability, joy, and peace to be infused into her art.
When she is not creating, Stephanie can be found helping clients through art therapy, spending time with family and running around with her nephew (aunt life!), getting lost in All the books, listening to rock and heavy metal music, traveling around the world, and drinking chai tea.
