ABOUT THE ARTIST: Oregon artist Stephanie Brockway is part collector, part carver, and part painter. Her art journey has taken many twists and turns and has led to her work being prized in many private collections across the country. Artist’s Statement Part anthropologist, part collector, my art path has taken many twists and turns. I don’t set out to recycle or upcycle, so much as hold an object and see possibilities. I’m driven to build or create something where there once was nothing. At heart I’m a painter, having dabbled in many mediums. A common thread in my work is unexpected colors or materials. I am easily bored if I’m not challenging or pushing myself, creating a problem that needs solving. The worn, discarded fragments I use can range from old fishing floats, vintage household implements, furniture and building parts, to a discarded paint brush used for many years, all the layers of paint telling a story. It’s exciting to see what emerges. Wood carving is a subtractive medium and unforgiving. Each piece of wood is a bit of a mystery, with different grains and ages, each presenting the challenge I crave. I strive for craftsmanship and try to elevate the forgotten into an heirloom. My style is primitive and naive with touches of urban, destruction, and decay creeping in. I seek simplicity in a world that is too often mass-produced. I have had the privilege of being published many times, including two articles in the spring 2013 issues of Art Doll Quarterly and in Prims. Another highlight was a spot on HGTV’s s That’s Clever and being a featured artist on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat in 2018.
