Discovering Stefanie Bales Fine Art

"We met at San Diego Fashion Week in 2017 — but I was already a fan of her work from viewing it online."

Her Collection

Six original paintings and one exterior mural. "Collecting and owning art that I love, from a local female artist, has always been a dream of mine. Owning more than one piece is the cherry on top."

What Draws Her In

"Definitely the colors — and the way the art transports you immediately to the ocean."

"I have a beautiful mini in my beach condo that makes me smile every time I'm there."

"I'm currently coveting a Coronado, The Hotel Del original — that's one of my happy places."

What She Looks For

"The emotions it evokes. Owning Stefanie's art has brought a feeling of peace into my life."
