Artist Bio

Stephanie Clayton

Artist Stephanie Hoff Clayton believes that creative alchemy happens when we allow intuition to be our guide. This alchemy is the poetry of life - a record of our dedication, obsession, meditation and reason. This belief is a fundamental aspect and the driving force of her studio practice.

Stephanie’s art helps bring a sense of peace, contemplation, and joy to people’s homes, offices, and public space. Stephanie says, “It is my experience that art can open hearts and minds. It can connect us to our true essence - our own divinity. I create art to express that which cannot be said in words and it is an honor to be able to do so.” Stephanie’s art is part of several public and private collections in Europe and North America including the British Virgin Islands.

Stephanie also teaches painting and intuitive art. She founded Clayton Art School in Slidell, Louisiana, before teaching art for many years at Cedar International School on Tortola, British Virgin Islands, Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, Texas, and Cumberland Academy High School in Tyler, Texas. She teaches painting and intuitive art classes in the Tyler area and, soon, online. Stephanie received a B.A. from Tulane University in 1994. Born in Birmingham, Alabama, she now resides in Tyler, Texas.
