Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Steph—founder of OriginalsbySteph, a proud Dominican-American, self-taught artist, pre-K teacher, and mother of two. I grew up in the South Bronx, raised in the projects, where I learned early on how to find strength in creativity and beauty in resilience.

My art is rooted in storytelling—deeply inspired by my culture, personal journey, and ancestral roots. I created this shop as a way to share not just artwork, but energy, healing, and pride. Every piece you see here is made with heart, intention, and the hope that it resonates with yours.

Thank you for being here and for supporting original, soulful work.
