Hi I'm Steph, a watercolor artist based in the Capital Region! With 10+ years of painting experience, I started The Nature Around Us in 2024 as a way to connect with nature, creativity, and my community. I often paint tiny and my signature polaroid paintings are a reminder of how nature brings meaning to our lives, even when we can't get outside as much as we want.My goal for watercolor workshops is to create a relaxing and safe environment for people to learn, connect, and create freely. Watercolor is all about finding a balance between control and letting go. I share tips and tricks that I've learned over the years to enjoy the process and create beautiful paintings!
