Stephanie Guimond
I'm Stephanie Guimond, artist, visionary and avid left-brainer
I paint, I dream big and I love spreadsheets.
In 2008 I picked up a paint brush for the first time since kindergarten
and haven't put it down since. My art, like myself, varies in style and personality
from the vintage girly to the unexplainable abstract.
The most common theme is visibly the feminine, but I'm always exploring...
Working with materials like acrylics, paper, pastels and ink, I'm drawn to
an intuitive and fluid approach to painting where images appear organically
before being polished into a finished product.
Because of this intuitive nature, pieces are heavily influenced by what I'm living the week, the day or the moment they are created. They reflect a personal story
that in an odd way infuses them with a universal quality.
I share my home with hubby and Cassie, our Golden Retriever.
I left my 9-5 job last fall to try something different, and spend most of my days
working in my guest bedroom turned office/studio creating art
and other paid work that supports the life I want to create overall.
I am grateful for the opportunity.

How did you finally decide on the look of your brand?
What did the evolution look like?
I don't have a firm or final look for my brand yet. With each evolution of my blog/Website I play around with the look & feel to reach something that feels right and captures what I want to project: a look that's grounded and vibrant where the left and right sides of the brain meet. I do like what I have now look-wise (with a few tweaks). I'm in the process of creating a new Website and tried switching it up with something different; though visually I loved the end result it just didn't feel right so I'll continue with the look I have now at the new URL and see how that sits.
In addition to visual aspects of branding I've been paying attention to the voice I use across social platforms and in person when representing my business, as well as the consistency of my message. My first blog was purely narrative and used to document a key personal transition with no intent to drum up business. Though I still include some personal narrative, today I use my blog to support my business vision and that's narrowed the focus of my writings considerably.
Current projects: a new Website, growing my business with a new left-brain offering called Get Clear, Get Moving (coming soon!),learning to balance it all in my own way
