In the direction of all good things.
Stephanie Towell
Born 1972 in Rockford, Illinois, United States
Currently toggles her residency between the city of Pittsburgh and a Victorian farmhouse amongst the many hills, along the Monongahala River an hour south of the city, with her husband, a small herd of Boston Terriers, a once feral feline, and a beloved flock of chickens.
Tapping into her personal experiences, as well as those from her professional work as a therapist, her multi media assemblages are visual manifestations of the nostalgic sentiments that underpin our emotional processing and ways we retell our stories. Her love of using physical space as creative and personal expression has most recently led her to begin her journey as a professional set dresser in the world of film and television.
