Stephanie McMillan's colorful drawings, paintings, and prints are inspired by the artist’s love for the plants and wildlife of South Florida, where she is a third-generation resident. Working with acrylic, latex, watercolor, gouache, and colored pencils, McMillan creates vibrant and playful settings where animals thrive. McMillan’swork evolves from her career in comics and focuses on social transformation and ecological healing.
After graduating with a BFA in animation from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University in 1987, Stephanie McMillan worked for 25 years as a cartoonist and illustrator producing award-winning editorial cartoons, syndicated comic strips, and graphic novels that have been published and exhibited internationally.
Since 2022, McMillan is an Artist-in-Residence at the New River Inn History Museum in Fort Lauderdale, and a Broward County Cultural Division grant recipient (2022 and 2024). Sixteen of her illustrations, collectively titled Love is All Around, are permanently installed on utility boxes in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Upcoming exhibitions include “Love the Living” and “Wild Florida” at the New River Inn History Museum and “Rewild Florida,” a solo exhibition at Flamingo Gardens opening September 28, 2024.
