Conversation with Stephanie Hongo

Please enjoy my conversation with Stephanie Hongo. Stephanie and I talked about her start in the art world, how she started making art from trash, her unique way of collecting the trash she prefers to use and so much more!

Stephanie is an American artist living in Connecticut. She has been creating art for the majority of her life, but it wasn’t until she began making the trash pieces that she really felt inspired to create art for art’s sake. She comes from a family of creators of all kinds, from carpentry to typography; they all have an ability to “make things.” This broad range of ability and influence was a big factor in developing Stephanie’s own brand of creativity.
