Hi my name is Brooke Stecker

Being an artist is integral to my identity. I have been dabbling with art since I picked up that crayon as a child and never put it down. I started painting when I was 36 and became very ill with a Nerve disease called CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome). This was my calming tool and now it is my life, I love it.

When I create an original piece, there is always some kind of my own soul and story in the work along with your soul and stories.

When my art is shared with an audience, it takes on a new wholeness filled by the viewer's own perception. They bring their own life stories, and suddenly one work of art created by an individual takes on infinite meaning as it touches others' souls. That's the human experience; individuals existing and experiencing in space singularly, then collectively finding commonality in their experiences in order to relate to and connect to one another.

You will see inspiration from photos I find and put together in my own way to make a painting and also by listening to your stories and photos as I specialize in custom commissioned pieces.
