Stephanie Quirk (b.1985, Newcastle, Awabakal and Worimi country) is an emerging artist based in Illawarra (Dharawal country). With a growing career spanning local, Sydney, and international exhibitions, Quirk thrives in community engagement projects, painting, performance, and site-specific sculptural installation. 

Her creative exploration revolves around immersive experiences and the theoretical Sublime, influenced by her mountaineering adventures. Radiant colours and craft media imbue her work with playful vitality, reimagining and activating spaces. Quirk’s artistic expertise stems from a Bachelor's (Hons) and a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Sydney College of the Arts, coupled with a Master's in Education from the University of Technology. 

Her artistic practice whilst initially focused on audience engagement through immersive installations, has more recently shifted to encompass education, as she combines the explorations within her art practice with the passion and experience from her teaching career.
