My name is Stephanie Chan, I'm a local artist specializing in black and white architectural renderings. My roots extend to DC, where I went to high school and college, and NY, where I got my Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis from Teachers College at Columbia University.
I had always had a natural affinity for art, but it had been ages since I had taken pen to paper. In July of 2022 I found myself turning to art to heal, to calm my anxiety, and to quell my forever overthinking brain. Drawing for me is a truly immersive experience that has brought me immense joy and when I pick up the pen, all the ruminating thoughts that spin through my head just...quiet. I am so grateful to have this outlet
When not with a pen in my hand, I work with autistic children as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I also try to keep active and have discovered a passion in weight lifting - this has led me to become a part of the amazing Balance Chestnut Hill community. If you see me walking around CH with my two dogs (and my cats, if I can convince them), please say hi!
