Biography
editBorn in Aspen, Colorado, Stouffer is the daughter of the wildlife cinematographer Marty Stouffer, of Wild America, and his wife Diane.[7] Stouffer attained a BFA in Conceptual Information Arts at San Francisco State University with courses at San Francisco's California College of Art.[8] Her artwork has been reviewed in art magazines and blogs,[9][10][11][12] and been exhibited in many art galleries,[13][14] and museums such as the Aspen Art Museum, Dallas Museum of Art, and the Japanese American Art Museum.[15] Stouffer's artwork has been found fragile, decorative, delicate, demonically inspired, and attractively twisted.[16] Her works on paper are often hand-drawn in ink occasionally incorporating gouache and watercolors.[1]
Her solo shows include the exhibitions Myth, presented at Belljar in San Francisco (2011);[16] Internal Energy at the Slow Culture Gallery in Los Angeles (2014),[17] and Omens & Offerings at the RVCA Artist Network Program in San Francisco (2015).[18]
She has also acted as curator for multiple shows and events during Art Basel, Miami, including Basel Castle, Iridescence and at The Electric Pickle in Miami (2013);[19] jointly showing with Johnny Vampotna at the Ghost Room Gallery in Miami (2014),[20] and with Hillary White at Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia (2015).[21]
She has participated in the making of numerous art installations and murals.[3][22][23][24] Her Installation The Net, exhibited in LA Grand Park in 2018, consisted in a canopy and tunnel of neon lights along the stairs near the fountain, immersing visitors in a wash of color ranging from crisp white to warm purple.[25] As a designer she has helped design different objects like snowboards[26] and technological clothing.[27]
She has been a juror of art shows for the Art Directors Club of Houston,[28] and editorial curator for Create Magazine.[29] She has been interviewed many times to speak about her art.[30][31][32][33]
In 2015, Stouffer founded H+ Creative, a woman owned and operated boutique creative studio representing a tight-knit roster of top-tier, diverse international artists.
