STEPHANIE TETU
Born 1967. Originally from Montreal in Canada, and now based in Randwick with an art practice in Darlinghurst. Stephanie has worked here and in Canada as a model, a pastry chef and a makeup artist. She is a self taught painter with a number of solo exhibitions and group shows under her belt.
She is currently represented by Piermarq Gallery in Paddington New South Whales and Gallery One in Southport Queensland.
Her thoughtful studies bring the viewer a sense of intimacy and enchantment. Stephanie manages to capture the ephemeral beauty and fragility of flowers and create a sense of drama as well as delicacy, a skill that belies her relatively young career.
" I love painting flowers, they symbolise sex and feminity, the cycles of life. Viewing them in large scale, you can't deny their fleshiness. You discover intimate details revealed in their full splendour."
