Stephanie Hamer is a British painter whose work can be recognised by its dark undertones and surrealist tropes. Often rooted in mythological narratives, Hamer entwines common settings with distorted figures to create otherworldly and often macabre images, centred on themes of oppression, death, and relationship dynamics. 

The artist has been a permanent resident at Burnt Sienna Art Studio since 2020. Throughout 2023 Hamer took part in three residencies:  Buinho (Portugal), Herhùsid, Gullkistan (Iceland) where she began her ongoing series ‘Father Knows Best’. She is a founding member of the artist collective C.U.Next.Tuesday. 

Born in 1991 in Manchester, United Kingdom, she studied Visual Arts at UCLan, in Lancashire, UK. Since 2017, the artist has lived and worked in Berlin, Germany. In 2025 her first solo show Father Knows Best opened in Berlin. Her work has been exhibited in several group shows in the UK and Europe including most recently Dwelling Places, a group show featuring Berlin based emerging artists. A series of the artist’s paintings is featured in the 2024 film Ravens, directed by Mark Gill. Stephanie’s works are mostly in private collections across Europe.
