Exploring what is seemingly uninteresting, overlooked or forgotten.
Stepanka questions our social habits, the necessity of routine, as well as the need for constant change.
Stepanka graduated with a distinction in MA Fine Art at Cambridge School of Art (Anglia Ruskin University) at Cambridge UK.
She received the Sustainability Art Prize 2020 and took part in numerous exhibitions. Her work can be found in a number of private collections.
Currently she is working on a new large collection for an exhibition SWAY (5th September, 2025, Ruskin Gallery, Cambridge). This new body of work is drawing on her experience and research accomplished during the AA2A Art Residency Programme (2024/2025) at Anglia Ruskin University. Stepanka's latest work is an installation that would reflect on the situation of the world’s rainforests and the struggle that indigenous people have to deal with. It was inspired by the story of the Tapajó people, one of the 13 peoples of the lower Tapajós River region, in the Brazilian Amazon and Priscila Tapajowara, an indigenous climate activist, photographer and producer of audiovisual content that dedicated her work to raising awareness about her people.
Part of the installation will be turned into a limited number of unique pieces of artwork that will subsequently be available for purchase with part of proceeds going to If Not Us Then Who, a US registered charity that supports a global awareness campaign highlighting the role indigenous and local peoples play in protecting our planet.
Whether inspired by natural phenomenons, the stoic philosophy or Joseph Albert’s color studies, every piece of Stepanka’s artwork tells a story, supports a cause and sends a message.
