About Stephanie... Stephanie Kiker, a Hatteras Island, NC artist and graphic designer, has used the natural beauty and abundant wildlife on the islands as inspiration for her expressions since first moving to the area in 1985. She graduated from the School of Design at North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Graphic Design and has since pursued her career as a working artist, working in a number of mediums, including pen and ink, colored pencil, soft pastel and block prints. Stephanie's interpretations of her subject matter are original and her style is unmistakable. Her work moves from realism to the bold graphic shapes, patterns and colors of her well-known and unique aboriginal style. Along with prints of her art, Stephanie offers pillows, ceramic tiles, cutting boards and even a coloring book with her artwork. As a graphic designer, Stephanie publishes several Art and Craft Gallery Guides. For more about Stephanie, visit: www.lightkeepergallery.com
