I'm a fine artist, live wedding painter and contemporary portraitist. I am a wife, a mother, a leader and small business owner, and a mentor for artists. 

Hi, I'm Stephanie Gaffney.

MEET THE ARTIST & EDUCATOR

Experience has taught me a lot of lessons about having a service-based fine art business, and I want to share that knowledge with you.

You and I have a lot in common. We are artists, working tirelessly to find the connection, the sweet spot, between what we want to create, and what our clients want from us. 

After finding this sweet spot for my art business years ago, it has become my passionate mission to help you build the dynamic, profitable and sustainable fine art business you desire, by propelling your painting style development, business acumen, and artistic brand.

It would be an honor and a joy to become a part of your creative journey.

As a professional artist myself, Stephanie’s skill and knowledge on color, lighting, and perspective is unmatched. She is the first person I go to for artistic advice as her instruction is always helpful, efficient, and precise. In short, she’s the real deal and I cannot recommend her expertise enough!
