In 1975 Stephanie moved to Bulawayo in Zimbabwe with her family. She continued her study in Bulawayo which is where she started working as a commercial artist.

It is the colours of Africa, the people, their beadwork and scarification that are her inspiration. Her pictures are larger than most and she has had many exhibitions in Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa and the UK. While her main focus is on the peoples of Africa, Stephanie is a versatile artist and moves from oils to pastels with ease. She takes commissions from both the private and corporate sectors. As well as her painting and drawing, Stephanie is well known for her interiors in corporations, small businesses, hotels and private homes.
