About The Lovely Forest
Hi, I'm Stephanie Crossen — a Cleveland-based illustrator, designer, and public artist working in digital media, painting, block printing, collage, and screen printing.
My work is rooted in translating feelings and experiences — my own and the broader human ones we all share — through a lens deeply inspired by nature, water, and the landscapes of the region I call home. I hope that people are drawn in first by the bold, whimsical, and brightly colored imagery, and then find something that resonates more personally — whether that's a moment of joy, a sense of place, or a feeling they didn't quite have words for.
Ultimately, I aim to create art that connects people to the world around them and to each other.
