Stephanie received her BA from Occidental College and her MA from Oberlin College before coming to the Drawings department as a graduate intern in 1993. In 1996, she entered the PhD program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she wrote her dissertation on the 16th-century Netherlandish artist Jan Gossaert. Stephanie returned to the Getty Museum in 2001 to look after Dutch and Flemish drawings. She has curated dozens of exhibitions from the permanent collection, and her international loan shows convey a keen interest in cross-cultural exchange. These include exhibitions that explore Maria Sibylla Merian’s depictions of the flora and fauna in Suriname, Jan Gossaert’s depictions of mythological and ancient subjects at the Burgundian court, Peter Paul Rubens’s compelling renditions of Korean and Chinese costume, and Rembrandt van Rijn’s copies after Mughal paintings in the global city of Amsterdam.
