Stephanie Rosendorf is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She most recently studied ceramics at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, after working as a creative director in the publishing industry. Her art has been exhibited nationally, as well as locally at Swan Coach House Gallery, Echo Contemporary Art, MINT Gallery and DK Contemporary Gallery. You can most often find her working out of her home studio, or in the handbuilding room at her favorite local art center, Callanwolde Fine Arts.

Statement:
Working mostly with delicate porcelains and the occasional rustic earthy clay, I create sculptures inspired by nature: flowers, forests, plants, fungi, animals, oceanic life and the earth's landscape. I'm also influenced by dreams and hazy memories floating just beyond the grasp of the conscious mind. It's a beautiful blending of the real and imaginary layered within soft, quietly rhythmic patterns. By using the meditative process of ceramics to interpret these details from the natural (and sometimes not-so-natural) world, I hope to bring a sense of wonder and delight to the viewer, and inspire them to notice the little things normally overlooked or unseen in the busyness of modern life.
