The First Commission
"We fell in love with the idea — it's now the focal point in our house."
"We were in search of unique art to display in our living room. After exploring Stefanie's website, we realized she paints murals. We invited her to the house to propose a design."
"Phatties Bake Shop, on Instagram, did a birthday shout-out to Stefanie Bales for her painting inside the shop."
Her Collection
Three original paintings, a framed print, and a custom living-room mural.
The Birthday Surprise
"I get lost in the skies during meditation or quiet times."
"My husband and I attended one of Stefanie's art expos. There, we both were mesmerized by one of the paintings, Kaleidoscope Skies. Little did I know, that breathtaking painting would be hand delivered by Stefanie to our home as my birthday gift." It now hangs in her Peloton and guest room.
Guilty Pleasure
"Chocolate is THE number one guilty pleasure."
Biggest Pet Peeve
"I love our fur babies! But fur everywhere is not ok! So I constantly vacuum."
Favorite Travel Destination
"Madrid, Spain and surrounding cities, where we stayed for a month, was a phenomenal trip! We loved exploring history, architecture, people, food — felt like home."
"Airiness, calmness, beauty and effortlessness."
What She Looks For
"The art has to speak to my heart. It has to enchant me — not just something pretty, but on an emotional level."
"The mural is in the living room. Kaleidoscope Skies resides in the Peloton/Guestroom. A smaller painting, Coronado Hotel, is by our lit corner bar. We also have a print framed in our master bedroom."
