Testimonials
"Stephanie Deshpande's art is beautiful and fearless. There is a psychological aspect to her pieces, a deceptive simplicity, and if you look deeper you can see a story in every portrait. Some will see something dark in her work, other's will see the light... how we see things is completely subjective. Her work captivates, both yells and whispers..." ~ Cyndi MacMillan
