Stephanie Flowers

Stephanie Flowers is a visual artist working with porcelain to create sculptural artworks and installations. Her work is inspired by biology, anatomy, nature and science fiction. Flowers explores the parallels between the human body, the natural world and the characteristics of porcelain: its’ fragility, strength, plasticity and translucency. By translating poetic and surreal qualities into forms that are strange yet familiar, she aims to create alternative ways of understanding our bodies as well as their influence and connection to the natural world.

Stephanie Flowers was born in Ontario, Canada. She currently lives and works in Longueuil Quebec. She received her BFA at OCAD University in Toronto, Ontario where she majored in Sculpture & Installation and minored in Material Art & Design in 2013. Recent exhibitions include Rework Traditions at Galerie ERGA, Montreal, Quebec and at Galerie Gaetan Beaudin for the 35th edition of 1001 Pots in Val-David, Quebec. She has undertaken several artistic residencies, including at Alfred University in New York, and as a one-year artist-in-residence at Medalta, located in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Her work has been supported by grants from the Ontario Arts Council and the Fusion Clay and Glass Association. In addition to her personal art practice, she is also the Ceramic Department Manager and Technician at Mosaika Art & Design, a public art fabricator located in Montreal, Quebec which specializes in contemporary ceramic and glass mosaic art.
