Stephanie Gonzalez

Bio:
Born in Monterrey, Mexico, in 1988, Stephanie Gonzalez's art journey is a fusion of Mexican and American influences. Inspired by her grandfather's admiration for Bob Ross, she began creating at 14. Stephanie's work evolved from landscapes to powerful abstractions, where she embraced intuition over technique. Stephanie draws from her experiences as a lesbian Mexican woman, channeling her emotions into mixed media works using vintage magazines and discarded materials. After earning a Bachelor's in Interior Design from the Art Institute of Houston, she pursued a Master's in Fine Art at Houston Baptist University, broadening her scope to sculpture and conceptual art. Stephanie's art now graces international collections, including prestigious venues like Starwood Hotels and the CICA Museum in South Korea. Stephanie's work has been shown in museums such as The Masur Museum of Art in Louisiana and the Holocaust Museum in Houston, and she shows her work in various galleries around the U.S. She has received awards from the Glassell School of Art, Brownsville Museum of Fine Art, and Rising Eyes of Texas. Her recent work explores geometric landscapes, delving into the spiritual and the interconnected. 

Artist Statement:
The influence of these works comes from the metaphysical, quantum, and spiritual realms. I use isolation and self-reflection to come up with this subject matter. My inspiration comes from the practice of meditation and the natural and spiritual world. I intend to capture unseen energies in the work. I want to decode a spiritual language accessed in the subconscious mind.
