At House of Stefani, we believe that true artistry is not born of momentary inspiration but of disciplined, thoughtful mastery. We are a design agency, a photography studio, and an art gallery all bound by a singular philosophy: craft made to last. Rooted in legacy, our practice is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, to producing work that endures—beyond trends, beyond fleeting moments—and becomes a part of the culture that defines us.

Since our founding as Stefani Photography in 1967, Stefani has embodied the delicate balance between artistry, mastery, and legacy. The agency and studio—our creative forge—speaks with a voice of authority and expertise. Here, we define, refine, and execute work with a commitment to craftsmanship. Whether it’s a brand identity, a photography session, or a design project, we craft each piece with deliberate intention, grounded in the deep knowledge of what it means to create with purpose and precision. It is not just a space where work is made; it is where excellence is cultivated.

In tandem stands Stefani Art Gallery—a space where creation gives way to preservation and curation. The gallery serves as the cultural custodian, safeguarding art in all its forms and giving it a home that transcends time. Through careful curation, we invite people to live with art, allowing it to enhance their lives, their spaces, and their legacies. Here, the work we create and the works we preserve are more than objects—they are timeless expressions of human experience, meant to be lived with, shared, and passed down.

What binds these two identities together is our shared DNA—legacy, artistry, mastery, and endurance. Together, the studio and gallery form an ecosystem that nurtures culture, defines aesthetics, and honors the integrity of every detail. The work we create at the studio shapes the future, while the gallery preserves and elevates it for generations to come. One creates, the other curates. One makes, the other sustains.

In an age of immediacy, we hold fast to the quiet power of excellence, knowing that true artistry is something earned—not marketed, not hyped. In our world, beauty is subtle, nuanced, and refined. It’s a heritage we uphold with pride and share with those who value timeless craftsmanship and enduring quality.

The House of Stefani is not just a name—it’s a tradition, a promise, and a philosophy. Welcome to a legacy of art, crafted for life.

Christina Stefani

Christina Stefani founded House of Stefani with a singular conviction: that meaningful work is built through discipline, patience, and long vision.

With more than twenty years of professional practice, she brings both authorship and execution to the studio. Her career spans graphic design, creative direction, illustration, photography, and fine art—each discipline informing the next. This breadth of mastery shapes a body of work defined by compositional clarity, restraint, and enduring visual intelligence.

As an artist, Christina is recognized for luminous, atmospheric oil paintings that explore light, movement, and emotional quiet. Her work reflects an intuitive balance between abstraction and landscape, inviting contemplation rather than conclusion. These same sensibilities guide her approach to design and photography, where classical structure and considered lighting form the foundation of every image.

Christina’s multidisciplinary background informs the gallery’s curatorial voice—art selected not for novelty, but for longevity. She approaches curation as stewardship, shaping collections intended to live with people over time.

She holds degrees in Political Science and Visual Communications from the University of Oregon. Today, she continues to lead House of Stefani as its creative authority—setting the tone, protecting the standard, and guiding the work with quiet certainty.

Artistry guided by mastery.

Work created for life.
