Stephanie Rado Taormina is a contemporary artist whose work explores abstraction, color, and the emotional landscape of being seen. Working across painting and mixed media, she creates layered compositions balancing gesture, atmosphere, structure, and release.
Her recent work reflects a shift toward openness and clarity, where color field and intuitive mark-making intersect to create paintings that hold space—both visually and emotionally. Alongside her abstract practice, she develops figurative works that examine identity, perception, and the tension between external image and internal experience.
With a background in fashion and two decades as an interior designer, Taormina brings a refined understanding of composition, material, and spatial impact to her work. This foundation informs her ability to create paintings that express and live powerfully within a space.
Her work, including four public works, has been exhibited in New York and Pennsylvania and is held in private collections.
She divides her time between New York City and Pennsylvania, where she continues to develop new bodies of work
