Stephanie Castellano

Stephanie lives from day to day sharing her love of art with anyone she comes across.  This love of art, combined with a desire to help others, is what brought Nikki and Stephanie together on this project.  This is Stephanie’s debut publication as an illustrator, and she looks forward to expanding her work in the field.  When she’s not drawing illustrations as a newfound artistic pursuit, she teaches high school art and ceramics,  inspiring young artists while also nurturing a love for creativity in her two children.

Stephanie holds a Bachelor’s degree from Montclair State University and a Master’s in Education from Rutgers.  A homegrown Jersey girl, she spends her small bits of spare time working on collaborative projects, illustrating her own whimsical cat drawings, and creating pottery and ceramics for friends, family and fellow ceramic lovers.
