Living with this picture could change your life, if you let it.

I’m Stephanie Parsons, a contemporary surrealist artist based in Scottsdale, Arizona. I create bold, vibrant work through large-scale acrylic painting and have a realistic approach through a range of drawing mediums, including charcoal, conte, ink, pastel, and graphite. My art is driven by a fascination with color, light, and the power of precise detail to transform everyday moments into something striking and immersive.
Surrealism is my foundation, but I push it forward with rich color palette, modern perspective, and compositions that bring energy and depth to the canvas. Whether I’m working with paint or drawing materials, my goal is to blend technical skills with a contemporary edge - crafting pieces that feel both refined and vibrantly alive.
Over the years I’ve built a strong body of work and a growing list of achievements, exhibitions, and creative milestones that continue to shape my artistic journey. As I evolve, I remain committed to new ideas, elevating my craft, and creating art that resonates boldly with viewers.
