Wild Woods, 2026, cut paper, fabric, wax, wood, watercolor, mica, silverleaf, monoprint, resin, 8'H x 12'W

Stephanie Garmey's exhibition, Wild Woods, is a show that honors the instinctual intelligence, power, and dignity of animals shaped by ancient ecosystems. These works reflect animal lives as living libraries guided by inherited knowledge, migratory paths, and deep relationships to land. As human impact threatens these delicate balances, the exhibition invites reflection on our shared origins and calls for protection, respect, and coexistence with the natural world.
