About

Stephanie Jimenez Schiller is a mixed media artist, fashion illustration instructor and the founder of Vogue Vignette. Through Vogue Vignette, she has created beautiful art and countless unforgettable moments of joy for her clients. I always jump at the chance to assist her during her live sketching events because what happens there is close to magic. Clients strike a pose in their party wear, and watch with absolute rapt attention as Stephanie creates a work of art featuring them. Stephanie brings a signature mix of grace, talent, professionalism and playful connection to these interactions, and every person leaves with a memento they treasure and the thrill of being the artist’s inspiration. 

Seeing Stephanie’s small business grow and thrive is wonderful, but this woman has done so much more than find personal success. She has expanded the business in order to provide more young artists with opportunity, and she mentors her team to develop both artistic voice and professional skills. Outside of work, Stephanie continually seeks out opportunities to give back.  At Big Springs Ranch for Children and Bertha Sadler Means’ Young Women’s Leadership Academy, Stephanie taught high schoolers how to paint murals and installed a mural onsite. She taught art classes to at-risk youth focused on artistic voice and how to use art to express emotions.  In partnership with Austin Community College, SXSW and GSD&M, Stephanie led fashion illustration students in live painting a mural for ACC's Promiseland Project. She has also participated in many community efforts to uplift women of color, such as Frida Friday ATX by Las Ofrendas.

Stephanie has made her mark on Austin through murals and many, many illustrations of the people of Austin. She has also made an indelible impression on many aspiring artists in our community through mentorship, teaching, and joyful celebration of life and art.
