about

Stephanie Fowler, Artist

Thanks for stopping by! I have identified as an artist for as long as I can remember, associating words with colour since I opened my first box of crayons and coloured all over my bedroom walls at the tender age of 3.

humble beginnings

Born in the sleepy hours of a snowy Saturday morning in February of 2012, Design by Streetlight originally started on a dare in exchange for a blog by my web developer husband. The past decade has sown the seeds of my growth from fashion illustration, to urban sketching and finally in recent years, increasing my understanding of acrylics with a fresh appreciation for nature and landscape scenes. In 2021, I finally gave in to the whispers that had been calling to me for years, and delved into acrylic paint as a new medium for me.

I would paint for ten hours a day every day if I could. Inspiration hits me in every waking moment, from the strains of a song, to the shadow of leaves on pavement, to the sound of the rain and the people on the streets.

why Design by Streetlight?

I’m just drawn to them. They’re romantic, and magical and make me dream of what life is like for the rest of the world. I feel called to capture the beautiful corners of the world through my own creative lens and with my own touch of whimsy. My goal is to create lively pieces of art that will appeal to your love of travel, lend a sense of nostalgia for a favourite adventure, and provide you with bright, cheerful artwork that will personalize your space.

Celebrate the magic of the world and experience a sense of adventure – all from the comfort of your home.
