Artist Stephani Hopwood | Bluey and Chloe Hardcover Journal
Best friends are one of life's greatest gifts — the ones who become family, who show up without being asked, who know your whole story and love you anyway. And in American culture, we've long known that sometimes the most loyal BFF has four legs and a wagging tail.

Stephani Hopwood is a Wisconsin-based abstract artist, muralist, and creative multihyphenate whose life has been shaped by nature, family, and a decades-long love affair with the freedom of making things by hand. The oldest of five — and the only girl, with a brother Nolan and triplet brothers rounding out the crew — Stephani learned early what it means to lead, adapt, and find joy in the beautiful chaos of a big, creative family.
Raised in central Iowa with parents who always kept the art supplies stocked and even let her paint murals on her bedroom walls, Stephani went on to earn her Associate degree in Art and Early Childhood Education and is just a few credits shy of a degree in Art Therapy. Her practice spans abstract painting, watercolor home portraits, murals, quilting, embroidery, punch needle, weaving, beadwork, polymer clay, and custom tattoo and logo design — a range she describes with characteristic humor as being a "hobby hoarder."
What defines Stephani's work is the moment she stopped making art for everyone else and started making it for herself. A single five-minute challenge from her high school art teacher — use the rest of the paint, don't wash it down the drain — produced her first abstract painting and changed everything. The freedom of sitting in front of a canvas without a plan, of letting the work emerge rather than be forced, is the philosophy behind every piece she creates.
"Recently someone asked me why I was doing this. I asked them if they'd watched the Bob Ross Documentary." — Stephani Hopwood
