About the Artist – Stephanie M. Lindsey
Stephanie was born and raised in Everett, Washington and is a graduate from the University of Washington in Seattle with a Fine Arts degree in Painting. She has always loved spending time outdoors and has many memories from her childhood of hiking, camping, and tromping through the woods with her older brother. Nature has always fascinated her and continues to inspire her.

Stephanie would describe herself as a modern-day impressionist painter focused on landscape, trees and vineyards. While not a traditional landscape painter, Stephanie takes the environment that she is surrounded by and recreates it in painting. Her goal is to portray the glimpses of beauty within everyday surroundings. While this work is representational, it is an impression of the moment and has a specific layered looseness which creates a dreamlike state.

Stephanie moved from Seattle in 2015 with her husband, Storm Hodge, to Parma, Idaho. They purchased Parma Ridge Vineyards and live on 13 acres which includes 9.5 acres of grapes. Idaho brings a different type of landscape all together, as well as living on a vineyard.  Stephanie says, “I am blessed to wake up and see the sunrise over the valley every morning and see the sunset every evening. I feel my paintings already starting to change, as this landscape calls for more open and airy, horizontal compositions.” While in the Seattle area, most of Stephanie’s paintings called for vertical orientation, and now being out in the open, she has realized that reflects the feeling of being there.  While it is quite beautiful, many times being in an urban setting everything is positioned vertically. Now stepping back from it, she understands her choices more clearly. Idaho continuously inspires her throughout the year with vivid sunsets and the seasonally changing vineyard.  She has created a new body of work that is her interpretation and recreation of the landscape in which she lives. Her paintings of the vineyard are also featured on the wine labels for Parma Ridge that can be found in their tasting room and bistro.

Stephanie has shown in a variety of venues since graduating in 2003.  Stephanie is the resident artist at the Parma Ridge Winery & Bistro and recent shows include the The Harano Gallery at the 4 Rivers Cultural Center in Ontario, Oregon; Ryan James Fine Arts in Kirkland, Washington; The Connie M Bishop Fine Art Gallery in Bellevue, Washington and the Kenmore City Hall in Kenmore, Washington.  Stephanie’s work is part of permanent collections at Tacoma General Hospital in Tacoma, WA; Seattle Cancer Care Alliance in Seattle, WA and the Evergreen Heights Community Center in Kirkland, WA.

Stephanie is on a continuous journey to improve her sense of light, space and atmosphere in paintings. She has studied under the modern-day master, Ovanes Berberian, who is known for his color harmony and composition. Stephanie continues to seek inspiration from her environment and keeps pushing herself to create an impression on the viewer that is both inspiring and beautiful.
