CV ~ Stephanie C Cosby
* You will notice the shows stopped in 2017 due to my life partner falling suddenly ill. He had to quit his job and seek immediate care. I was forced into the workplace full time to keep us, our house, two kids, bills and pets taken care of. I continued to make work privately in my home studio. He is disabled and currently still in the process of re-routing his career, I am still working full time in Montessori classrooms while continuing to make work in my home studio. 2017-Current
