This piece is a part of a new body of paintings "Sunrises and Sunsets" debuting May 2026 for First Friday ArtWalk. The collection is centered on ephemeral moments of light that remind us to pause, look up, and take it in. As Stephanie explains:

"I love the ephemeral moments in our lives the most.  Fleeting experiences that remind us to slow down and live in the moment, for we know they will not last and we cannot go back.  In Colorado we are frequently blessed with epic sunrises and sunsets, each one unique and rapidly shifting before the day either begins or ends.  A collective reminder to stop and experience awe.  

This collection of work focuses on the evolution of light during daybreak and sundown, capturing the brief but perfect moments of light on the clouds, the alpenglow, the warm all-encompassing radiance of the sun.  The skies hold brilliant colors, while the earth and the water reflect them back from below.  Each piece serves to provide you with the incredible beauty of the earth while also reminding you of the impermanence of it all.  

This collection is created in my signature style, allowing vivid color and defined mark-making to create playful landscapes with soothing movement."
