About

Stephanie Flowers is known for her artistic works in porcelain that are minimal, organic and delicate, with a strong focus on form and detail. Her practice is rooted in sculptural and three-dimensional forms, which has expanded to include one of a kind jewelry pieces.

Her work explores the the human body, anatomy, and biology. By translating their poetic and surreal qualities into new forms that are uncanny yet familiar, she hopes to create alternate ways of understanding these subjects.

Stephanie received her BFA in Sculpture & Installation at OCAD University in 2013. She also completed a minor in Material Art and Design, where she specialized in Ceramics. 

All works are hand-made by her in a private studio just outside of Montreal, Quebec. For by-appointment studio visits, purchasing, private commissions or general questions please send an email
