Hi, I’m Stephanie Marie, the artist behind Opal & Ore.
Art has become my way of exploring beauty, wonder, and the stories that connect us. I specialize in fluid acrylic paintings enhanced with texture, metallic accents, resin, and original imagery, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that invite viewers to pause and discover something new each time they look.
Many of my collections are inspired by nature, the cosmos, faith, and the unseen mysteries that spark our imagination. Through my signature Vault Collection, I pair each artwork with an original story, transforming every painting into a relic waiting to be discovered.
My hope is that every piece I create brings joy, inspires curiosity, and reminds us that beauty can be found in both the luminous and the raw.
When I’m not in my studio, I love sharing my techniques and encouraging others to embrace their own creativity. I believe art isn’t about perfection; it’s about exploration, connection, and having the courage to create.
Welcome to Opal & Ore, where every painting tells a story, and every story begins with wonder. ✨
Opal & Ore is where luminous beauty meets raw possibility. Every piece is an original, hand-crafted work of art created by artist Stephanie Marie, blending fluid acrylic techniques with texture, metallic accents, and resin to create artwork that is both expressive and timeless.
Each painting begins with professional-quality acrylic paints and carefully selected pouring mediums, then evolves through movement, layering, and intuition. Many pieces are enhanced with resin, gold leaf, dimensional textures, and original imagery to create depth and a one-of-a-kind finish. No two works are ever alike.
Beyond creating beautiful artwork, Opal & Ore is about inspiring creativity. My mission is to encourage others to explore their own artistic journey by sharing techniques, education, and a welcoming creative community where artists of every experience level can learn, experiment, and grow.
Mission
To create original artwork that inspires wonder while empowering others to discover the joy of creating through education, encouragement, and community.
Vision
To build a creative community where art becomes more than something displayed on a wall, it becomes a story, a conversation, and a source of inspiration. Through Opal & Ore, I hope to help people create with confidence, collect meaningful art, and discover the beauty that emerges when imagination meets possibility.
For centuries, the firmament has been described as the great expanse separating the created world from the heavens beyond. This painting imagines a rare moment when that veil briefly part; not through destruction, but through divine invitation.
