WELCOME!

Hi! I’m Steph and I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a lover of bold color statements, unknown worlds, and the absurd and delightful all around us. Though I studied art at Michigan State University and the University of Iowa, I consider myself a primarily self-taught mixed-media artist. Inspired by the unbridled imaginations of children, and working primarily with acrylic paint, ink, and scraps of found paper ephemera, I intuitively create layered skyscapes, imaginary universes, and the whimsical creatures that inhabit them.

Steph Joy Hogan is an award-winning mixed-media painter from Lansing, Michigan. She was voted Top Artist in the 2021 Lansing City Pulse Top of the Town contest (Top 3 in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2025) and her recognizably vibrant and whimsical artwork has been showcased in galleries and exhibitions across Mid-Michigan. Her work has been featured on a CATA bus, a bus stop shelter, and two billboards and her commissioned mixed-media paintings can be found permanently installed in Impression 5 Science Center, Fenner Nature Center, and the headquarters of The Davies Project.
