Stephanie Sipp has been creating original art work and active in the art and healing community for the past fifteen years. Originally from New York, she received her master’s degree from FSU in 1982 and has lived in Jacksonville since 1992. 

Currently Stephanie is a fulltime professor at Florida State College of Jacksonville in the interior design technology department.  Her dedication to promoting and teaching the visual arts is evident in her teaching at the college.  Her expertise includes hand sketching, perspective drawing and color rendering with markers and pencil.  She knows that drawing is a learned skill that will improve with practice.  She encourages all of her students to meet the challenge of learning to draw dispight what they have been told.

Working within a lifetime interest in the outdoors, healing gardens and in active bird watching, her art expression celebrates the diversity and power of nature.  Her work has been described as “sometimes playful, sometimes lyrical and always intriguing”. 

Through the years Stephanie has enjoyed showing her art work.  Her most recent show was at Reddi-Arts and The Women's Center of Jacksonville 2009.  She has exhibited her work during Garden Week at the Cummer Museum in 2005 along with several shows at the First Street Gallery in Atlantic Beach, Karpeles Manuscript Museum, Alford Acherman Gallery and other local shows.  She participated in the Thomasville Georgia Wildlife Exhibit in 2002

 She appreciates the support she recieves from her partner, family, friends, spirit sisters, coworkers and of course, Forrest, Sounder and Mr. Leonardo da Vinci.
