Stephanie Schlatter`s Resume

www.stephanieschlatterart.com | [email protected] | 616.560.9519
My journey as an artist is influenced through my travels abroad and my study of art globally. I draw inspiration from the freedom
of artistic expression in other cultures and the unfettered creativity of children around the world. I am motivated with a passion to teach
and cultivate the creative learning process in others. These experiences richly enhance my own paintings, which hopefully reflect the
beauty of both the people and lands I have visited.
