A Short Bio

tephanie Blythe is the middle child in a family of three girls. Her
father was a scientist who left Germany at the rise of Hitler. He
worked at Berkley University in California, where he met his
wife, a student studying early childhood, and where Stephanie was born.
When Stephanie was two the family moved to Frederick, Maryland, and
at ten, to the suburbs in New Jersey. Her high school years were spent
at Princeton High School with a year in Paris and Jerusalem while her
father was on sabbatical. A degree in Textile Design from the Philadelphia
College of Art led to a career in New York designing scarves and linens.
Stephanie married Bob Blythe. They had had a son and then a daughter.
The couple worked in the natural foods business, where Stephanie was in
charge of graphics, package design and cooking lunch for a staff of 20. She
published a magazine for her county and opened a school that provided
private art lessons for children. A second marriage to Dean Walters, an
antique dealer who specializes in wine collectibles, led to a move back to
the West Coast. If life is a circle, then Stephanie's has been full, diverse and
creative. There is just one problem-this is all just background.

many of the artists he knew visited and were entertained in
the family home. He introduced his daughter to languages,
foreign culture and cuisine, and to wonderful German toy

While living abroad in high school, she studied at the Bezeal
Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem. She intended to major
in illustration in college, inspired by the master illustrators of
children's literature of the early 20th century. Over the years
Stephanie acquired a collection of these types of books as well
as a vintage photo library. She created in any number of fields,
art usable in the business world, but still unique.
