Stephanie Anderson is from the Likhsilyu “Small Frog” clan, Kwin Begh Yikh “House beside the fire” of the Wit’suwit’en nation. Her grandmother is Kilisët, Violet Gellenbeck, the matriarch of her family. She currently lives on the unceded territories of the Ts’msyen, along the Skeena River in the city of Terrace, British Columbia. She began her studies of traditional carving and formline design in 2009 at the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art. In 2010 during her second year of schooling she was awarded the Youth Scholarship Award from the YVR Art Foundation, in which she began a mentorship with master carver Ken McNeil. This mentorship continued in 2018 through 2022, which included sculptural carving, ts’an “totem pole” carving, and instructor training. In 2024 she was award the BC Achievement Foundation award in First Nations Art.

Although she devotes much of her studio practice to her sculptural carvings in cedar, she has a diverse range of artistic mediums. She expresses her artistic style in digital design, copper smithing, painted works, and in the summer months she paints large scale murals with her collective Raven-Tacuara. Her inspiration flows from the rich traditions of her family and nation, and its diverse histories and respect of the yintah, or territories.
