Ms. Stelin is partaking in the most coveted event in the art world: The Venice Biennale.

She's converging all her talents: being an artist, an award-winning educator and author, and a fashion designer, into one big interactive project focused on Venice as a muse.

​

Two monumental paintings include clues for quests around Venice. Garments are inspired by Venetian reflections and a childrens' book explores the complicated history of Venice. 

​

Thousands of attendees will be encouraged to roam the city's unique neighborhoods with their sketch books and paints, learn about crafts native to Venice and enter into a competition for best fabric design idea.
