    Stephanie Rohlfs

    Sacred Travel Fellow 2025

    Stephanie Rohlfs (b. 1984, San Jose, CA) is a San Francisco-based artist who makes mixed-media sculptures and drawings. Interested in the use and life of objects, her work has explored animal enrichment, product design, and functional objects. She is currently working on a body of sculptures that playfully engage with the culture of both doomsday preppers and the new age wellness community. This work is heavily rooted in ceramic objects, but also incorporates wood, fibers, tools, and other found objects.
