I AM STEPH SAMMONS, A LIFE-LONG RESIDENT OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
My road to making art has been a long and winding one, and my artwork bears evidence of all my stops along the way...
You may notice strong line-work from my stints in drafting and graphic design; you’ll see vivid colors, textures and sharp contrast from years working with visually impaired students. You also witness the geeky subject matter of a former English major. I hope you’ll feel a reverence for joy, from my years spend crafting with pediatric oncology patients and facilitating art with at-risk youth. Finally, I hope you’ll sense a love of magic, unconventional methods and unorthodox materials, from my time in theatrical design.
My current obsession is an Alphabet of Mythical Beings. I recently completed these and made them into a book, which I published in partnership with Gray Dog Press, here in Spokane.
