Stephanie Schechter is a painter whose work traces a path from the built environment to the natural world, and from realism toward greater abstraction. Whether drawing from architecture, objects, or landscape, her paintings distill shape, color, and composition to their essential elements, using the fewest visual words to evoke tension, atmosphere, and transformation.
A New York native, Schechter earned a BFA in Industrial Design from Rhode Island School of Design. Her background in design continues to inform her painting practice, where discipline and intuition meet in equal measure. She lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island.
Schechter’s work has been included in international publications, and exhibitions and collections throughout the United States.
