About

We are wild about art – our backyard is inspiring!

Stefanie and Henry share their time between their mountain home in Invermere, BC, and their off-grid getaway in the Gulf Islands, near Victoria, BC. When they’re not busy running the mountain trails, chasing balls on the beach or working their day jobs (graphic designer and professional tennis ball herder), they relax by drawing or painting (Stef) and herding balls (Henry).

Fur Real is a website featuring Stef’s artwork.

Stefanie’s background in Fine Arts, Design and Classical Animation (yes, the cartoons your kids watch on television), pushed her to explore a variety of styles, specializing in highly detailed illustrations but also loves creating cartoony critters. Her extensive expertise with pencils and brushes allowed for a seamless transition to digital technology, opening a new range of possibilities. None of her illustration work is created using AI.
