Lana Stephens.

Her work is often influenced by her Southern background and childhood. Her Grandmother's house is a rec curing theme in her art work. She often works with charcoal and film paper. She describes her work as dark or nonsensical, particularly referring to sketches of storms or clouds. In her lecture she spoke of how most of her work is created by erasing rather than actually drawing, she describes these pieces as obliterated. The advice Lana Stephens gave to undergraduate students which I took away from was to be patient. That she was often impatient in undergrad and her art work suffered due to that.
