Welcome! This website is a gallery and a store for the aviation, military, and emotive artwork of Stephanie Shimerdla. Please browse through the links above to view Stephanie's artwork and prints.

This website is undergoing some changes. You may notice that some paintings are gone. A few of them have been moved over to my new website for fantasy and nature related artwork, but most have disappeared forever. This website will remain in use for some of my aviation/military and emotive (like "Lonely, Not Alone" and "Mask") paintings, as well as some miscellaneous sketches and such. However, all of my new nature and fantasy stuff can be found at Rainne.com.

Thanks so much for visiting!

A great place to find Stock Photos!

Quote of the moment:

"I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?"

04.20.08 - Removed a lot of old stuff, and moved "Alatariel" over to Rainne.com, which is where all of my new artwork will go. (Except for the few aviation paintings that I paint... at some point.) I'm leaving some of my older stuff that still has a lot of meaning to me up here, at least for now. The Obsidian Dawn mailing list isn't going to be making any more mailings, either. If you want to see my new releases, go check out Rainne.com. There's a mailing list and an RSS feed there.

01.23.07 - I've done a LOT of work with my new blog. It's going to have all sorts of information, tutorials, etc regarding both my painting and my photoshop brushes.
