Artist Profile

Sanoe Stevenson-Egeland (b. 1998) is a painter and printmaker who uses tangled composition, bright color and tough text to pry at the dialectics of her own thoughts and experiences. Born and raised in Kaua’i, Hawai’i, Sanoe moved to Seattle in 2016 where she now lives and works. She received her BFA in Fine Arts from Cornish College of the Arts in 2020. Some of her recent projects include Quality Time, a solo exhibition at Museum of Museums; murals for Seattle arts community staples like Mini Mart City Park and Forest for the Trees; commissioned work made in residency at RailSpur Seattle for Hotel Westland; curatorial work for the Downtown Seattle Association; and an ongoing residency with Actualize AiR, where she also co-curated the inaugural exhibition. Aside from her personal practice, Sanoe also works as the Manager of the Neddy Artist Award program and as Printmaking Studio Monitor at Pratt Fine Arts Center. www.sanoes.com@sanoes Headshot by Ben Lindbloom
