Fantastic Worlds

A selection of works by artist John Stephens ’68

Updated on August 23, 2018

From his Thetford, Vermont, studio John Stephens ’68 paints psychedelic worlds characterized by intricate detail and fantastical creatures and landscapes. He uses Photoshop’s editing software to lay out an image, consider colors, and test different versions of a painting before deciding what works best. He likens the process to Darwin’s theory of natural selection: “One version will ‘survive’ to be the right one for the right surroundings,” he says.
