Artist, Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Jazz Singer
I am a Canadian Artist well known for portraying the figure and faces of women. More recently, my works include Canadian landscapes, urban sketches and abstracts. I am the founder and Creative Director of 17 Designs, a graphic design and web development company that started in 1998 in Mississauga, later moved to Oakville, and now is located in Tillsonburg, Ontario. I have embraced the challenge of becoming a TV producer and host of “Stella’s Studio” on Camoes TV, featuring artists, visiting art-related events, museums and galleries. I was also the Artistic Director for MDC Media Group, a multi-media company and the cartoonist for the Milenio Stadium newspaper. I have a passion for music so I am also a jazz vocalist with “Jazz Plazma” and “Stella Jurgen & The Swing of Things”.
What I Do?
Acrylic, Oil, Mixed Media, Digital & Print
I am a well-versed artist open to work with all mediums. My style is eclectic and diverse. Many of my recent and most popular pieces are pop-art full of colour and emotion. My origins began with pencil, ink and air brush but quickly progressed to oil and acrylic paints. Recently I have been printing my artwork on textiles and experimenting with applications on wearable items and fashion accessories.
