BIO
Stephanie Silver is a Miami-based visual artist working primarily between painting and sculpture Drawing from fragments of the built and natural environment, her practice explores how place becomes personal through memory, association, and fantasy. Often originating in photographs taken during walks, Silver’s paintings do not reproduce these scenes directly but rather transform them in response to the memories, cultural references, and imagined histories they evoke in her. Her sculptural works extend this process into three dimensions, translating architectural and botanical references into abstract forms that use color, scale, and material presence to give physical shape to the feeling of an encounter.
Silver is currently an artist-in-residence at KUNSTRAUM in New York. Her work has been exhibited at venues such as Oolite Arts, Satellite Art Show, and the Doral Contemporary Art Museum. She has received awards including the Ratcliffe Art and Design Fellowship, the Coconut Grove Arts Festival Scholarship, and the III Points Artist Grant.
