Steph Kunze is a visual artist born and based in the Twin Cities metro of Minnesota. She spent her early years frequently engaged in drawing, often doodling all over her papers during school and drawing late into the night. At 16, she joined a teen book arts program in Minneapolis, which inspired her to pursue a BFA in illustration with a minor in creative writing from the Maryland Institute College of Art. After graduating in 2012, she returned to Minnesota and has since exhibited and sold her work at a variety of local galleries and art fairs.

As a visual artist, she most enjoys working in a longterm art series where she can explore a specific medium, style, and idea. Her most current series is the “Taiga Series”, a collection of surreal graphite drawings and traditional mixed media pieces inspired by her love for the wildlife found in and around the taiga biome.
