Meet the Artist

Meet Stefanie A. Satterfield, the artist behind Art.bySAS—because with initials like SAS, how could they not be use?

Originally from California, Stefanie moved to Spartanburg, SC at the age of nine, where her passion shifted from dance to art. She later earned a BA in Studio Art with a minor in Arts Management from the College of Charleston (Charleston University to be technical) before moving to New York City. While she loved the city's energy, she knew it wasn’t her forever home. After nearly seven years, she relocated to Charlotte in July 2019, embracing a major shift from a corporate retail career to life as a teaching artist—just before the world was turned upside down by the pandemic.

Stefanie has a hyper focus on detail, striving to capture the essence of each subject in all its beauty. Her work is created with the intention of evoking everlasting happiness, inspired by her deep appreciation for the natural world around her. The vibrant hues and intricate structures of flowers, the ever-changing skies with their breathtaking sunsets, and the people (and their fur babies) that make up her community all fuel her creativity.

While she enjoys working in various mediums, Stefanie thrives in ceramics, where she transforms clay into modern, functional wares and delicate flowers —encapsulating nature’s beauty in each piece. Every item is hand-built using one, or a combination of the three traditional techniques: pinch pots, coils, and slabs.
