Coffee Bio:

Beginning in part time barista roles and moving into training, being mentored by great role models who shared their knowledge freely became what Stephanie wanted to offer others. After working as a coffee trainer, she was accepted onto Victoria Arduino’s Youth Academy, where her coffee career really began. Undertaking SCA courses, and last minute being whisked off on a Colombia origin trip with Raw Material opened up a whole community. From producers to coffee professionals and roasters, the people element is what kept her here, and this journey landed her in the role in Quality and planning events at Covoya Specialty Importers. The adventure is far from over!

Art Bio:

Coming from a family of painters, Stephanie began my own art career with a Textiles Degree in Bournemouth before a segue into SFX Make-up. After working in theatrical and editorial make-up, her creative ideas veered towards creating handmade jewellery and illustrations over the pandemic in 2021, trading at local markets and selling online. Stephanie spent most of 2023-4 painting local shop windows and menus with original designs. More recently she sells merch in coffee shops, but has been angling more towards creating more watercolour, oil pastel and ink painting originals. She has always been a huge advocate for creating art from scratch, creating something physical with my hands for somebody to own forever. These are usually inspired by the food, music, nature, surrealism and travel in her life, and this is her first Art Show.
