Stephanie Rae Davis is an artist and preschool teacher from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work takes the form of painting, drawing, embroidery, book making, and small sculpture. She collects moments through objects, nature, and people that make up her world, and captures them in her artwork. She creates daily and is inspired by the simple beauty of the the world around her.
In her practice, she is interested in capturing moments in the everyday. She is influenced by the doors in her neighborhood, the debris found on the sidewalk, and seeds, pods, and forms in the natural world. She is also attracted to the natural instincts we have as humans to sigh, stretch, embrace, and breathe in our awkward, but beautiful bodies. Her artwork sends appreciation to these things seen in the everyday, but also draws on fantasies that grow from these commonplace notions. In her work, she often thinks about growth and decay, the process of accumulation, and personifying objects and buildings that make up homes and communities. Growing up in her mother’s decorative art studio influenced her to create work that merges the decorative and the organic. She often uses patterns in her work that grow into abstracted forms and figures.
Stephanie holds a BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She currently lives in San Francisco teaching and sharing her love for nature's magic with her students.
