Steph Neary is a self-taught artist based in Pittsburgh, PA, who creates one of a kind pieces using vintage and salvaged materials. Since settling in Pittsburgh in 2006, she’s developed a
distinctive style that blends fine art with craft— a nod to folklore, childs play, underground comix, and traditional techniques with humor and surrealism. Her work embraces the charm of raw, heirloom-inspired designs, blurring the boundaries between art and craft.

Currently, she serves as the director of VaultArt Studio, a progressive art space in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood.

Photos of our Christmas spent in LA 🌞💘
Since 2016 @mmgrrrr and the crew at @be.wild.er have provided delicious organic vegetables to our community. Also in 2016 Megan asked me to design the logo for her dream farm and without hesitation I squealed, yes !! I will be joining them @bloomfie
This photo is exactly what I feel like inside my head.. everyday. On to the fashion- I’m wearing an @oldnavy ribbed tank, ball chain necklace, board shorts from the rock climbing wall in North Creek, NY, sunglasses from @burgerking x Wild Wild
A mound of ferns in the grocery store vs a really big dead branch. Oh, the difference a few weeks make.
⭐️ SAVANNAH, GEORGIA ⭐️ Next week the best circus is hosting a May Day event. Organized by @_saw_the_wheel_ & their merry group of hodgepodge angels ! Delighted to design another flyer from a far for Saw The Wheel Theater 🎭
Girls & their pearls, flower mirrors, and three chicken/ducks. Probably some symbolism here that I’ll discover in the next few months.
Are you a fan of folklore ? Do you drive a car ? Or do you like stickers ? Just sent these bumper sticker designs off to the printer. Let your folklore freak flag fly 💘
My sweet friend @taylorstefanko commissioned me to paint her pup, Honey 🍯 🫖 a perfect muse I used a mixture of @holbeinartistmaterials acrylic gouche & colored pencils, @lefrancbourgeoisofficiel flashe paints, & various craft acrylics
I think the world would be a better place if everybody carried symbolism in their back pocket. The dolls that carry a fish, a snake, a peach, & a moon flower. #folkdolls #handmadedolls #dollscollector
