Artist Bio
Stephanie Copoulos-Selle creates altered books by deconstructing and printing on existing books. She resurrects the old books into a new hybrid book form. Her books celebrate “every person,” grandparent, niece, and neighbor. The books view life in a fresh manner and speak new truths that resonate with the contemporary viewer/reader. They look at ordinary problems that women have faced in western society. The ordinary problems may seem trivial, but in reality, they impact largely on one’s life and interactions with other people. Stephanie Copoulos-Selle is a bookmaker, painter, and printmaker. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha. She was a Grant Recipient of a Artist’s Book Residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop, Rosendale, NY.
