About
Stephanie Foti-Molinari works in ceramics and mixed media from her home and family farm in Sonoma County, California. Stephanie received her bachelors degree in studio art from Humboldt State University in 2004 and her MA in Multimedia from CSU East Bay in 2012. Her work largely draws inspiration from natural surroundings, the relationship between place and storytelling, as well as the Human-Wildlife interface. At the root of her process is our tactile relationship with objects both found and made, the use of locally sourced materials, and art as the conduit for studying local ecosystems.
