10. Prints by C. Stephenson-Gibbs

12. Since 2005, my focus has been to explore and expand into mediums of art which
were less familiar thereby creating a challenge both artistically and professionally.
• Each method or series required a completely different approach and process but the results were
worth every painstaking minute.
• Using a variety of techniques, methods and materials more diverse body of work, including a
series of large scale mixed media paintings (Spheres) as well as revisiting the medium of
watercolor and learning the encaustic process.
• Commissioned for large-scale paintings and murals which provided me with a unique challenge
working to with private collectors. The process has proven to be very rewarding and challenging
professionally as well in that it demanded a larger variation of subject matter using media other
than printmaking.

39. Educator’s Note:
• Over the past ten years, I have enjoyed the
challenges that teaching Art at the collegiate
level has presented. The students have
inspired me both intellectually and artistically
and for the opportunity to share in their
growth and explorations, I will always be
grateful.
