Stefanie Togni

Stefanie Togni

Stefani Togni was born in a little town in northeast Oregon. Today she is a Portland-based artist who is always on the lookout for beauty, joy and magic in the simple things. Deeply inspired by nature and the rural environment she grew up in, she is constantly seeking beauty in unexpected places and circumstances. Her work is a reflection of how she sees the world and offers a glimpse into her dreams, daily experiences, and long ago memories. She is continually experimenting with new materials and techniques, though she often finds that her love for watercolor has the greatest influence on her methods. Rather than paint a perfect representation, she tends to aim for abstraction and unusual color juxtapositions that occur to me in moments of nostalgia. Last year, Stefani started #100paintingsforherbrother, a fundraising effort for oligodendroglioma brain cancer, following her brother’s diagnosis.
