Doll Sculptures : A Creative Way to Upcycle Found Objects - Stephanie Brockway

Stephanie Brockway is a self-taught primitive-style modern folk artist who has been making art since 1978.

Stephanie Brockway was born and raised in Massena, New York, a little village near the Canadian border, that is frequently named the coldest place in the United States.

Stephanie is a resident of West Brookfield, Massachusetts and she works as a magazine art director, which has inspired her admiration for the union of wonderfully constructed words and images.

The art works of Stephanie are shown at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon, and Guardino Gallery in Portland.

She has been featured on OPB’s Oregon Art Beat and made an appearance in an episode of HGTV. She has nationwide popularity among folk art collectors, and her work was included in national art doll journals.

She coaxes faces from old tools, newel posts, and a freshly discovered millinery form while working intuitively in her studio.

The distinct characteristics of each piece of wood she used to add dimension and character to her one-of-a-kind works.

Brockway says, “So, as I carve, it just kind of comes to life. ... I just listen to the wood,”.

Brockway’s work has been published in national art doll magazines and she has national popularity among folk art collectors.

She began this body of work as a fun challenge to use up items she had accumulated over the years for her assemblage sculpture art.

She wished to create giant animals in need of protection, as well as allow people to interact with rhinos, elephants, and giraffes etc.
