"I always get my ideas for pieces by wandering around cities and taking pictures. I sometimes start out with an idea or theme in mind, but the weather conditions or what I find will often dictate the direction of a piece or a body of work" - Stephanie Buer
ABOUT THE ARTIST:Stephanie Buer, now based in Portland, has spent over a decade observing
the urban landscapes in Detroit, MI. She has an intimate appreciation
of urban desolation and a love for the once prosperous buildings that
have been abandoned to time and the elements. Her works in both oil and
charcoal capture with photo-like detail the layers of gritty history
that accumulate as these places succumb to the manipulation of vandals,
artists, and the steady persistence of nature.
