Please join us to celebrate the opening of our first exhibition! Atlas Fine Art presents: SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME Solo exhibition of new works by Stephanie Schafer OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, December 16 7 – 10PM 823 Park ave Baltimore, MD 21201 Wine and treats provided BYOB encouraged (coolers will be provided) ABOUT THE ARTIST Stephanie Schafer is a mixed-media visual artist and fine art photographer living in Baltimore, Maryland. She received her B.F.A. with an emphasis in photography from the University of Maryland in 2000 and a 2016 Baker Artist Award Nominee. Sometimes beautiful, often enigmatic, her haunting work is constructed by using a blend of digitally manipulated photography, layered collage, and painting on canvas and wood panel. The mythic, spiritual, and psychological themes present in Schafer’s work express the delicate balance between good and evil, while visually narrating the lives of her friends, family and self. She often incorporates her own hand-constructed mixed-media costume, props and back drops made out of wood, paper, and other natural objects. She has been active in the non-profit arts community teaching expressive arts therapy classes to at risk youth and disabled adults, as well as displaying her work nationally. Stephanie has a genetic condition called Albinism which is characterized by a deficit in the production of melanin and by the partial or complete absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. She is legally blind which profoundly influences her work.
