Somerville artist Stephanie Richardson: explores how the divine and mundane exist together

On November 11, 2026, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

Somerville artist Stephanie Richardson writes: “I’m a visual artist and former costume designer. My formal training began in the ’90s when I earned a master’s degree in costume design for theatre from Brandeis, but I stepped away from art to support my family. Over time, I pursued an MBA and built a career in higher ed administration. What brought me back to making art was the need to process and respond to this ever-darkening political moment. Making art – whether protest posters or paintings – became essential to my own resilience. Now, I’m in what I’d call my creative renaissance, finally with the time and energy to do the work I’ve always wanted to do.”

To the Editor:

I led the effort to honor baseball great Harold “Pie” Traynor in his birthplace, Framingham. Now, I hope Somerville, where he grew up, will do the same. Richard J. Trum Field would be the perfect spot.
