Painter Stephanie Love-Riner spent most of her earliest years in Empire, Michigan, and attended Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, before graduating from the Penny Stamps School of Art and Design at the University of Michigan, with a Bachelor of Arts, Honors magna cum laude.

 

Perpetually interested in the therapeutic effects of creating art, she focuses on the process as much as the final creation. From collage to acrylic to large-scale murals, Love-Riner likes to paint in a variety of mediums to express different ideas.

 

Love-Riner worked as a gallery curator, was Editor of Canyon Road Magazine, and has written arts reviews and features for Santa Fean magazine. Her paintings have previously been featured in shows at Metallo Gallery in Madrid, New Mexico, the Eggman and Walrus Gallery in Santa Fe, and Sierra Arts Studio.
