ABOUT
Stephanie Robicheau was born in Clare, Nova Scotia. She was introduced to paint and clay by her parents at a young age, spending her childhood painting and sculpting. Her free time was often spent taking painting classes and workshops. As she developed, there grew a fascination for fabric as a medium and clothing as sculpture, driving her to pursue a textile education. In 2005 Robicheau attended the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and graduated with a diploma in fashion design and a minor in interior design. In 2008, she moved to Halifax and continued her studies at NSCAD University. By 2009, Robicheau had worked for The Montgomery Theatre, Compagnie Marie Chouinard and Cirque du Soleil. After five years of travelling Europe, Japan, United States and Canada, Robicheau returned to painting with a theatrical perspective of the human form and an abstract approach to composition. Robicheau now lives and works in British Columbia, Canada.
