Stephanie Van Riet is a visual artist who lives and works in Providence, RI. Her work is curious about the systems created as a result of human’s yearning to organize the world around us and contextualize what is ultimately unknowable. Through drawings, printmaking, and sculpture, she creates artist books and immersive viewer experiences informed by oceanic, celestial and terrestrial landscapes and natural phenomenon.
