Stefanie Trow is a British artist exploring our relationship with nature through painting, drawing, and print. Inspired by personal connections to landscape, she creates large, textural works in Kodachrome tones that blend observation, memory, and archival imagery, mapping journeys through both inner and outer terrains.

Originally from Yorkshire and now based in Manchester, Stefanie studied Visual Arts at Salford University, graduating in 2004. Over the past year, she has travelled the world with her family, homeschooling her children while creating and reflecting across diverse cultures and environments. This nomadic period has deepened her inquiry into how nature intersects with human presence and perception.

Influenced by magical realism, Les Nabis, and abstract expressionism, Stefanie’s work prioritizes colour over detail. She employs impasto brushstrokes, delicate washes, and free-flowing ink, allowing paint to bloom and morph like memory itself. Her process begins with pencil, ink, and collage studies, often reassembled or abstracted-before being transferred in charcoal onto canvas. Final compositions hover between figuration and abstraction, with images slipping in and out of focus like overlapping recollections.

Stefanie’s work has featured in numerous private collections and has been exhibited widely across the UK and internationally, including at the Albemarle Gallery (London), Warrington Art Gallery and Museum, Contemporary Six Gallery, and Comme Ca Gallery (Manchester). She was longlisted for the Jackson’s Painting Prize (2023) and shortlisted by Blue Shop Gallery (2024).

She recently completed the Online Drawing Development Year (2024) with the Royal Drawing School and has been selected for the Dumfries House Residency in September 2025.
