Stephanie Sydney was born and raised in London, England and moved to California with her family as a teenager. She studied art at Santa Monica College and UCLA. While Stephanie was a painter from a very young age, she started exploring painting with a camera, first double and triple exposures in the camera, then mixed media pieces and digital collages. With the advent of digital technology came new explorations of the transformative potential of imagery. You could say she paints with photographs.
