Enjoy these new works by Master Artist
Stephanie Birdsall "Persian Bowl with Hydrangeas" 11 x 14 oil
A member of the Degas Pastel Society, the Pastel Society of America and the International Pastel Society, is it any wonder Stephanie Birdsall has received so many prestigious awards for her pastels? Ms. Birdsall is also a member of Oil Painters of America among other fine art organizations. Her work in both mediums is poignant - resonating sheer beauty.
Stephanie Birdsall received her formal training at the City and Guilds of London Art School in England. After graduation she spent time traveling through Europe honing her skills as a plein air painter. Upon her return to the United States, she studied with many American artists and has been fortunate to paint under the tutelage of Richard Schmid and the Putney Painters for the past three years.
Her work has garnered recognition and more than 30 major awards in national and international juried exhibitions. She has exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London, England, Bargemon in France and at the National Arts Club in New York. Among the awards she has received are Best in Show at the Bridgeport Museum of Arts and Science, the Grumbacher Gold Medallion Award, the Degas Pastel Society Exceptional Merit Award, the Connecticut Pastel Society Herman Margulies Award and the Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, John Manship Award. In 2004 her work was selected by the National Academy of the Arts for inclusion in the Arts for the Parks National Exhibition.
