I'm I am Stephanie Checton, a lifelong New Jersey resident and fine artist specializing in traditional oil painting. A true beach lover at heart, my work is inspired by New Jersey and other coastal landscapes, capturing the quiet rhythm, light, and atmosphere of the shore.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My paintings are inspired by the quiet rhythm of coastal landscapes and the sense of stillness they offer. I’m drawn to moments where light, water, and land come together in subtle ways, creating scenes that feel both fleeting and lasting.

Painting is a meditative practice for me—a way to slow down and reconnect with a sense of calm and clarity. Rather than documenting a specific place, I focus on the feeling a landscape holds, like a memory you can return to. Through my work, I hope to create space for pause, reflection, and a deeper connection to nature and time.
