ABOUT THE ARTIST

Stefanie Rapoza

Stefanie is a Sacramento-based fine artist and Creative Director who brings vibrant color and joy to interior spaces. With a career spanning over 17 years in high-level branding and marketing, she has traded the constraints of the corporate roadmap for a life lived out loud on the canvas.

The World of Abstracts

Operating out of Studio 13 at ARTHOUSE in Sacramento, Stef’s signature style, defined by vibrant color palettes, explores the distinct relationship between raw intuition and the technical precision of her digital-to-analog process. Whether she is executing a meticulously planned large-scale installation or losing herself in an automated flow-state to create an abstract floral, the results are consistently bold and memorable.

Large-Scale Paintings

Her design-forward approach has earned her a place in local publications and led to high-profile commissions for Nordstrom, SLATE Gallery, and elite interior designers. Stef’s mission is singular: to create art that is uplifting, vibrant, and bold. She creates pieces specifically designed to transform an environment and elevate the spirit of those who live within it.

Outside the Studio

Beyond her personal practice, Stef is deeply committed to fostering the next generation of creators. She serves as the Art Docent Chair for a local elementary school where she leads after-school art programs and community exhibitions. By teaching students the importance of visual expression, she helps them build the creative confidence to take up their own space in the world.
