Stephanie Serpick is a visual artist working primarily as a painter. She received her MFA from the University of Chicago, and her BFA from Carnegie Mellon University. Her work has been shown in various exhibitions in the U.S. and internationally. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she currently lives and works in the New York area. 

Her work concerns the themes of isolation and grief. The challenges to our physical and mental health provides a shared experience from which to consider grief and eventual healing. In the work, feelings of grief and comfort are represented by unmade beds and tossed sheets on intentionally blank, somewhat rough backgrounds. In addition, images of windows, including blowing or transparent curtains, lend a feeling of being cut off from the outside world.

Recently, she has been using the imagery in new and different ways, manipulating the images by splicing and reconfiguring them. These changes provide a fractured view of the grief many experience, as well as the difficulty in the healing process. Recent work has included split images of flowers.
