Stephanie Stamos-Hoyle received her B.A. in Fine Art at UCLA. In addition to her interest in the arts, she also earned a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University, focusing on marriage, family and child counseling. A native of Los Angeles and a current resident of Orange County, California, her works have been featured in gallery shows in Los Angeles and Southern California. Her paintings are a  part of many private collections.

Stephanie's work is well known and appreciated by art lovers throughout the LA area. Her work can be found in the homes of many prominent people and celebrities living in the area. After getting married and residing in Orange County she became pregnant with her child Claire. Motherhood left little time to oil paint; however, a creative person needs to create and she soon picked up a camera. It seems photography was less toxic than oil paint for a little one to be around. At first she was just photographing Claire and then things grew and she started taking photos of the neighborhood children and friends. Many of the images are being created into greeting cards which will be available soon.
