Stephanie Kewistep was born on the Yellow Quill Reserve and moved to Vancouver BC at a very young age. Stephanie did not start painting until adulthood. She trained under the supervision of Heiltsuk artist Ben Houstie and Northern Tutchone artist Richard Shorty. Stephanies work is a synthesis of various traditional art styles using modified versions of the ovals of the Haida traditions, the flowing lines of the Woodland style and makes each piece her own. She has been working for over eleven years producing original paintings, limited edition prints, drums, paddles, and t-shirts. Her artwork has been shown in galleries throughout British Columbia, as well as in private collections and various organizations in a worldwide market.
