Stephanie grew up in Texas, but has vacationed in Colorado since childhood. Her love of the mountains — and especially the aspens that live there — has lured her back ever since. She now splits her time between Austin and Pagosa Springs.

Stephanie, a mathematics professor, began working with fused glass in 2004. What began as a way to express her creative side has evolved into a second career. In 2007, she began studying fused glass at East by South East Studios in Austin, under the guidance of Glenda Kronke and Flo Vasquez. She has also studied under other talented glass artists, including Judith Conway, Steve Klein, Robert Leatherbarrow and Amy Schlief-Mohr.
