ABOUT
AMARIS STEBBING

Maris (b. 1996) is a Nebraska-based artist working primarily within photography and poetry. She graduated from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln with a B.A. in philosophy with minors in psychology and art. In 2026, she graduated from Wake Forest University with an M.A. in clinical mental health counseling. 

 

Her photographic work centers around self-expression, portraiture, and artistic narratives. She works to spotlight performers’ stage personalities and uses long exposure shots to represent emerging emotions throughout sets and in daily lives. In 2021, she developed Contrafluid, a body of work that explores the difficulty in navigating self-expression within rural Nebraska, using strobe lights to create movement within the shadows.

​

Currently, Maris focuses her work to include forms of photography, poetry, and watercolor paintings, striving to depict inner-worlds and the changes within them.
