About the artist
Painted by the ocean.
Acrylic seascapes, hand-painted longboard fins, and reimagined furniture, made on the windward side of Oʻahu.
The water gets into everything.
I grew up in the Florida Keys and now paint on Oʻahu, where the water shapes my work in both literal and abstract ways. I move between tight realism and loose, funky color: from a humpback gliding under a stormy sky to eagle rays drifting across the curve of a surfboard fin. Most pieces start with a single experience in the water that I can't stop replaying until it becomes a painting.
“My paintings let me relive my favorite experiences in nature every time I look at them.” Stephanie Signorelli
The fin is the signature
Longboard fins are an odd canvas: curved, glossy, and small, they force every wave and ray into a tight frame. They've become the thing people recognize first: a slice of Oʻahu you can hold in one hand.
