Stephanie O’Connor is having her first solo show at The Stable’s gallery this month. The Paramus resident says that Ridgewood, with its strong arts community, is an exciting place to exhibit.
The paintings are in oil, large, bright and full of meaning.
“Since I have such deep ties to my Cuban roots, the suffering the Communist government has forced on the Cuban people inspires me to tell their story,” she said.
On display is “Libertad,” which means “freedom.” Her painting reflects the lack of freedom of speech or thought.
“Para Los Santos” is a painting showing Santeria – a combination of African-derived religion and Catholicism where saints and African gods are worshipped. The painting depicts the sacrifice of a chicken.

Levine says that even though she has been painting for many years, she is still compelled and motivated to create new and different pieces of art.
“I am very inquisitive by nature and my interests allow me to paint in many mediums – in oil, watercolor, pastel, and with collage as well.” She keeps her eyes fresh to explore new ideas and concepts.
“Art transports me, and every day problems seem to fade away when I am painting,” she said. “I am very lucky to be able to create paintings that nourish me and bring joy to others.”
