Testimonials

Daphne Stephenson’s exotic, beautifully painted, elegant creations are a delight. Her bold choice of colour is reminiscent of Hermès. Likewise her Rousseau-esque, finely detailed jungle paintings – Please Forgive Me – Leopards in the Jungle and Leopard in Moonlight – are explosions of colour, complemented by their intriguing subject-matter – fantastical trees and flowers, prowling leopards and chirpy birds. In the midst of this, all appears to be ordered and harmonious, but things are not quite what they seem. Nowhere is this more apparent than in another of her perfectly executed paintings entitled, “Tropical Birds of Paradise”, which features five brightly feathered birds in contrasting poses. No wonder Daphne Stephenson has chosen to transpose the unique subject matter of her paintings from canvas onto to silk and other materials. Her stunning silk kimonos with their bold, quirky designs are effectively walking pieces of art.

Nobody else does it like this and I know a thing or two about art”
