Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Stephanie McMahon (b.1976, Rochester, NY) lives and works in Alfred, NY. Her gestural paintings extract and distill her observations and perceptions of a particular environment while presenting the possibilities of visual experience and abstraction. Thin brushstrokes of transparent color on a smooth oil ground surface give the paintings a sense of luminosity.
McMahon earned an MFA from The University Texas at Austin. She has been included in exhibitions at Drawer, NY; Heaven Gallery, Chicago, IL; Northern Illinois Art Museum; Tang Contemporary, Beijing, China; Zhangzhou International Art Museum, China; Gravity Gallery, North Adams, MA; and Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY among others. McMahon is recipient of the Memorial Art Gallery Award of Excellence, New York Foundation for the Arts Strategic Opportunity Grant and a Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts Individual Artist Grant. She was an artist in residence at Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris and Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, China. Her work has been reviewed and published in Art Maze Magazine, The Boston Globe, Hyperallergic and New American Paintings Blog and Magazine. She is currently a Professor of Painting and Drawing at the School of Art and Design at Alfred University.
