Jewelry & Paintings by Stephanie Saint-Thomas. I was born in Madrid to artist parents who encouraged my art from a young age. Years living in Paris exposed me to a vast art culture. My final years in Europe were in a tiny village in Holland--where I fell in love with nature & trees. We moved to SLC, Utah to be closer to family. I began my award winning mixed media technique in 1983 creating jewelry, which over time, expanded into paintings. My work has depth & vibrancy due to the layering & lustrous top coat finish. Hiking the mountains of the Wasatch inspires much of my art. "The sun shines not on us, but in us." John Muir
