BIO/ARTIST STATEMENT
Stephanie Vallez is a puppeteer and toymaker from West Liberty, Iowa. She has been working with Eulenspiegel Puppet Theatre Company as a puppeteer since 2018. She has a background in dance, music and foreign language. Stephanie has performed in ballets and horror films, although her academic pursuits with the University of Iowa were focused on grammar and phonetics, mainly in French and Spanish. She also designs and creates dolls and miniatures using a variety of media. Her work has been seen occasionally in Iowa’s many art galleries. She is a published writer of essays and articles in English and Spanish, and she often writes songs and poems, many of which appear in her puppet shows. She spent many years working in group homes and long-term care facilities for adults with developmental disabilities. Stephanie has one son who constantly keeps her on her toes, as if she didn’t already have plenty to do.
Stephanie is a board member on the West Liberty Area Arts Council and serves on the Brick Street Gallery committee.
