Stephanie Pierce approaches painting with perceptual problems foremost in mind. In order to explore her visual questions, she has arrived at a form which defies traditional representational conventions while still being entirely about seeing, and the experience of perceptual reality. Although her work is deeply indebted to her teacher, Ann Gale, there's a lot of unique work to see on her
website. Neil Plotkin also interviewed her for the Painting Perceptions blog
here. A quick quote from the interview: "I feel like if anything, the paintings are like these confessions of all
my inability, or some kind of record of how I struggle to understand
something or come to process this thing I see."
