Cinnamon Stephens
Surf Coast artist, wife of Rowan and mother to Chloe 10 and Kobi 4, Cinnamon has been creating since 1992. Choosing to work from home, Cinnamon’s studio began in Geelong West, then to the inspiring hills of Wensleydale and now the harmonious coastal Anglesea. Recently her artwork has enjoyed an added strength and vibrancy thanks to the collaborative support of her husband Rowan.
Cinnamon chooses steel and copper as her prominent medium when making her purely sculptural pieces and creative functional artworks. Inspired by organic and whimsical shapes and forms, Cinnamon’s artwork is very distinctive. Mosaic work is another passion that she teaches and indulges in herself.
With eleven solo exhibitions and numerous group shows under her belt, Cinnamon’s work can be found in restaurants, café’s and private residences all over Victoria. Examples of her work can also be found in private collections in America, England, New Zealand, Tasmania, Canada and Sydney.
Thanks to an overseas travel scholarship, won through Ballarat University where Cinnamon gained her Fine Arts degree, she has travelled through selected parts of America and Europe. These experiences are echoed in her artwork.
