Stephanie M Shanks Fine Art

Native to Richmond, I have lived and breathed the arts—from theater to poetry to dance—all my life, but formally studied painting. These days, I am mostly an oil painter and educator, passionate about helping people hunger for and find wholeness through art experiences. In my spare time, you might find me experimenting with a new medium, helping with a community project, plotting trips with friends, exploring nature, starting yet another book, or having tea with my nieces and nephews.
