Stephanie Sloane

A native New Yorker, born and raised in the Bronx, who now lives in Manhattan, Stephanie Sloane has had an eclectic career encompassing many creative endeavors. With a BA in Fine Art and Theatre, and an MS in Education and Art, she started out teaching art and dance. She has acted in commercials, off-off Broadway theater, and in films. As activities coordinator of a psychiatric unit for eleven years, she initiated a program that included art and dance therapies. She went on to become an art dealer and for seventeen years was associate director of Pace Prints. She has written two plays, “Toujours L’Amour” which was staged in NYC last year, and “Bronx Light/Bronx Dark.” She enjoys cooking, knitting, drawing, jewelry-making, moving and decorating.

She was married for fifty-eight years to her husband, Michael, who recently passed away. They raised three children, Todd, Gregg and Danielle, while living in Suffern, New York. She has eight grandchildren. The loss of her husband at the same time as the pandemic prompted her to write her first, but not her last, book of poetry with photographs.
