Anne Smith Stephan, Beyond Earth and Sky, 48" x 60" oil and wax on canvas
The paintings of featured artist Anne Smith Stephan will be on view at Vivid Art Gallery in Winnetka, beginning with an opening reception on Friday, June 6, from 5–7 pm.
In this latest collection, Stephan continues to work in abstraction as a way to explore memory, emotion, and the layers of personal history. Her paintings are wistful and expressive. Soft washes of color meet bold, textured brushwork, creating surfaces that invite close inspection. Each painting unfolds gradually, offering glimpses of hidden stories and quiet emotions lying just beneath the surface.
“Art is such a personal creative endeavor… you paint what you see, experience, and know. I take these realities and create another world,” —Stephan.
The paintings in this exhibition reflect Anne Smith Stephan’s evolution through emotional abstraction. Bold and full of feeling, they speak to the complexity of everyday life. Mysterious yet familiar, they invite us to look beyond the surface and discover what lies beneath.
The opening reception for Anne Smith Stephan at Vivid Art Gallery will take place on Friday, June 6, from 5–7 pm. Vivid Art Gallery is located at 895 Green Bay Road in Winnetka. The exhibition will continue through the end of the month. This event is free and open to the public.
