Adrienne Stein
“I’ve loved experimenting with the various Artefex surfaces, especially the Copper Artist Panels. I enjoy the tooth of the sandblasted copper surface to hold and preserve the mark of a brush stroke when I lay down the paint. The warmth and luminosity of the copper glows when I allow it to show through in passages of my paintings. It’s a unique surface that yields effects I haven’t found with any other product. I also love the way paint glides on Artefex smooth lead oil primed ACM panels. The effect is luscious. These surfaces are durable and do not warp – truly made to last.”

Close friends and family members are reinterpreted in lush and magical environments that form the nexus between reality and fantasy, expressed through an unconscious world of symbolic imagery. She has received numerous awards from organizations such as The Portrait Society of America, The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, and The Art Renewal Center.
