FEATURED ARTIST: STEPHANIE SCHIRM

Stephanie Schirm is a mixed media figurative artist and art instructor.

She completed her art education in Berlin, Germany, and began her career as a fashion designer and fashion illustrator. She then moved into the world of liturgical design; designing and manufacturing sanctuary decor for churches across Canada and the US. Her passion for designing and painting lead to sharing her knowledge in the arts through workshops with the Continuing Education Board in Wellington County, Mohawk College, and in various establishments throughout the GTA area, such as Visual Arts Mississauga, Credit Valley Artisan, Clarkson Society, Haliburton School of the Arts, Maggiolly Art, and more!
Most recently Stephanie is the recipient of the MARTY 2023 Award for Visual Arts in the traditional form, and the Civic Award of Recognition for the Visual Arts from Bonnie Crombie’s Mississauga Mayor’s office.

Stephanie’s work is colourful and expressive. She has a knack for capturing personality in her paintings, through her painterly brush strokes and wealth of colour theory knowledge.

We are honoured to have Stephanie’s work hanging in our window gallery, and to be offering art classes with Stephanie in our studio this Fall.
