Stephanie Rond, North America Street Artist for the Women's Forum Street Art Project "She's a Leader"
Stephanie was born in Columbus, Ohio, USA in 1973.
She attended Fort Hayes Arts and Academic High School in Columbus, Ohio and went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The Ohio State University. You may have read about Stephanie’s artwork in Bitch magazine, a feminist publication in the United States.
Stephanie is the founder of the website Women Street Artists. Stephanie is a stencil, spray paint, and wheat paste artist. She began posting her creations in the streets in 2007.Her work discusses the female experience. In Stephanie’s current street series, “ghost girl”, she creates a character that engages in her environment as an active citizen to combat the typical objectification of women that we see in advertisements everywhere.
By not hiding her identity as a woman and discussing women’s voice in the streets, Stephanie hopes that future generations of women street artists will be empowered to make outdoor space a venue where everyone can be heard and respected.
