Stella Begnal

Stella Begnal is an artist who reinterprets her waking world through vivid, illustrated dreamscapes. Deep in the heart of the Rust Belt, Stella spent her formative years lost in her own imagination, weaving fantastical worlds with the bleak landscapes of rural Pennsylvania. Working in watercolors, ink, and digital mediums, she imbues her work with distinct moods and fast-paced energy, experimenting with unpredictable mediums and textures. Stella’s illustration practice orbits themes of queer identity, forgotten history, and social justice.
