Stephanie is a freelance illustrator and cartoonist from Brooklyn, New York. Since 1998, she has worked on everything from comics and children's books to rock'n'roll art and gallery exhibitions. Growing up on a heavy dosage of comic books, old cartoons, 1950's-60's horror/sci-fi movies and punk rock helped fuel the creative fire at a young age.
Starting out as an inker for her grandfather, John Buscema, Stephanie learned how to make traditional sequential art with brushes and without computers. Being exposed to the art of Milton Caniff, Jack Kirby, Mary Blair (and about a hundred other inspirations) she longed to expand her skill and learn how to paint the traditional way. Soon, she became infatuated with mid-century advertisements, design and illustration.
After high school, Stephanie realized it was best not to run away with the circus (just yet) and should probably attend college. She soon started attending SVA, fell in love with gouache and graduated four years later with a BFA in illustration. Since then she has been working for DC Comics and is currently being represented by Shannon Associates. She is honored to be an artist member of the Society of Illustrators.
When not working, Stephanie enjoys getting lost in book stores, finding old dresses from the 50's, going out for a good cup of coffee with friends, collecting tin robots and baking treats for her fiance Rob.
