Stephanie Garon is an environmental artist, scientist, and poet. She wrties: “My artwork investigates humanity's interruption of nature. Power. Natural objects positioned against industrial materials expose dichotomies of formality/fragility and permanence/impermanence. As natural elements are sourced by hand for site specific connections, artworks convey themes of claim, women’s labor, and time. As ecologically motivated interventions, forms emphasize the vulnerability of nature. These abstracted expressions visualize an uneasy truce. A contemporary twist on the Arte Povera movement, my work addresses climate crisis politics and mediates attention to the materials themselves. Extensive research, including scientific and cultural investigation, are integrated into each artwork.”

Garon environmental art has been exhibited internationally in England, Colombia, South Korea, as well as across the United States. Her writing, a critical aspect of her artistic process, has been published in international literary journals.

Garon lives and works in Maryland.
