Stephfea (Stef-fee-a) Jackson is an artist whose work is deeply influenced by the beauty and resilience of Black and other marginalized communities. She was born in Brooklyn, NY, and moved upstate to Brockport, NY at a young age. Growing up as one of a few Black families in Brockport, Stephfea developed a keen sense of empathy and compassion for those historically excluded from mainstream society. Her experiences have fueled her passion for creating art that celebrates people's strength, dignity, and humanity.

 

Through careful attention to detail, composition, and linework, Stephfea imbues each piece with a sense of intimacy and connection that invites the viewer to engage with the subject on a deeper level.

​

Ultimately, Stephfea's art celebrates the human spirit and a call to action for greater empathy and social justice. By highlighting the beauty and complexity of marginalized communities, Stephfea aims to create a more inclusive and compassionate society, one piece at a time.
