Stella Ebner

Stella Ebner's work integrates the tradition of printmaking with the language of contemporary media culture. Her prints explore the rituals and preoccupations of modern everyday American life. As she explains, "I am seeking to discover the imagery that defines us as a culture – images of spaces, events and moments that are so ubiquitous they are largely ignored, but when held up to the viewer they become a place of self-recognition."

Ebner has held residencies at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program in New York City; the Lower East Side Printshop in New York City; and Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California. She is the recipient of a number of grants, including a Minnesota State Arts Board Artists’ Assistance Fellowship. Her work appears collections across the country, including the  Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, CA; Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul, MN; The Lower East Side Printshop in NYC; the Minnesota Historical Society in St. Paul, MN; and the Target Corporation in Minneapolis, MN.  She lives and works in New York, and teaches Art and Design at SUNY Purchase.
