"I'm fascinated with how art tells the story of people. It continues to be a favorite theme in my work-- watching individuals or groups of people unposed, living their lives. I find beauty and meaning in what our ordinary gestures tell about our feelings, relationships, values, humor and our society as a whole. I love to paint the joy of the human experience."

Stephanie Hock received her bachelor's degree in visual arts. She loved painting specifically but struggled to find her rhythm as an artist. She gave up art after college in favor of a stable office job. Two years later, she met her husband who gave her three tubes of paint as a wedding present along with the words, "I believe in you as an artist." Feeling empowered, she picked up a paintbrush again. Stephanie spent years learning through workshops, books, and most importantly, practicing for long hours in her studio. The discipline paid off as her work has received numerous awards and been collected internationally by public and private collectors and businesses. She has been the featured artist in several exhibits and shows her work in multiple galleries. She is excited to keep learning and telling stories with paint.
Stephanie lives in Murray, Utah with her husband and four children (twin girls and two boys). They love to travel together and plan to visit all 50 states. Stephanie finds inspiration for her paintings from the people and places they discover together and through her photography.
