Biography, Experience, Current Projects and Fee Schedules
Stephanie Schirm expresses her artistic personality through a variety of mediums. Stephanie is an experienced artist who enjoys creating collage type paintings of mainly figurative works. This is an area where she has consistently demonstrated her ability to combine diverse materials from paper, wood and fabric. For the last ten years she has mainly focused on liturgical type art whether it be sanctuary decoration or vesture. Stephanie's knowledge of textiles is to a great extent influenced by her European training and by her formal design training in Canada.

Prior to 1996, Stephanie created designs for some of her present competitors. Her profound desire to take on the sole responsibilities for her own designs was the convincing factor to open up Labyrinth Studios Inc. in 1996. Labyrinth has collaborated with church professionals across North America to enhance and celebrate the seasons of the liturgical year. In 2000 Labyrinth introduced the Rituals™ trademark focusing on liturgical expression. At the same time, other departments of Labyrinth Studio Inc. are able to focus on other fabric type art. Rituals™ is composed of liturgical fabrics from simple vesture to tapestry installations, challenging the creative edge of the religious environment.

In closing, the liturgical art Stephanie produces arises out of a deep sense of tradition that speaks to the contemporary church with a startling newness of vision.
