Creations by Steph

Stephanie Babij (she/her) is an urban-Indigenous visual artist of Ojibwe and Ukrainian/other mixed-settler heritage. Originally from Sudbury, with maternal roots and a member of Wikwemikong Unceded First Nation, she now makes her home in Unceded Algonquin Territory/Ottawa. Stephanie was unfortunately not able to be raised steeped in teachings, on the land, or surrounded by the strength and love of community, but throughout adolescence and adulthood she has been slowly making her way back to these - with a long road ahead. Stephanie’s visual arts practice includes acrylic paintings, murals, beading, and wood burnings crafted from fallen trees. Through her art, Stephanie blends her background in environmental science with her deep love of the natural world.
