Stephanie MacCarragher
Denver • Colorado
Painter | Mixed Media

Stephanie MacCarragher is an exceptionally talented woman from Denver, Colorado, which the Mark Whistler Gallery is ecstatic to have on its roster of incredible modern artists.

Active in art since she was a child, MacCarragher’s contemporary style interlaces a hint of ancient themes with architecture, and bright, bold, warm colors.

Stephanie pushes the boundaries of her materials by literally soaking 300-pound paper in water, then working the medium with pastels. The process of working with the paper while still damp “compresses the pastels” creating intense “solid but varied colors”, which produces vibrant tones, while still maintaining the original integrity of the pastels.

MacCarragher’s oil paintings transcend simple expressionist works, cultivating imagery from history, the feminine, and icons, which consist of a flat surface eloquently merged with stylized lines. In addition, Stephanie’s work displays hints of Third Wave Feminism (Post-Feminism), embracing the celebration of motherhood and the historical interpretation of women’s role within society.

Stephanie’s recent exhibitions in Denver include: Sense of Art festivals, Revoluciones Gallery, Mary Jo Keller Studio, Colorado Art for AIDS, Scott Lyon ”Porkshop Show”, and the All Colorado Show in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
