There is no artist or art like Earth herself. When I paint I capture what I possibly can to reflect the beauty of this incredible world we live in and of those we share it with.

My hope is that my work inspires those who come across it to realize or remember that we are all interconnected, that Earth and all the life she gives is truly miraculous, deserving of our respect, and in need of our help.

Bethanne Stephan Artist

About the Artist

Bethanne Stephan, born in La Crosse, Wisconsin, 1974, is a self-taught artist who has been painting and making jewelry since childhood. She began her career as an artist while living in Costa Rica. A lover of nature and a firm believer in conservation, she has been inspired by the incredible magic of the rainforest. Using flora and fauna as the subject of most of her paintings, she works with natural papers and other unique materials, such as banana paper and foil. “The paper itself is a work of art that adds life and uniqueness to each piece.”

After three years in Central America, Bethanne now resides in Wisconsin to be closer to family. You can find her work on the web, at various art shows, and the following fine art galleries.
