Stephanie Anne Gregorich, from Crest Hill Illinois, was born with Arthrogryposis & Scoliosis. Stephanie has both an Associate’s degree from Joliet Junior College, & Bachelor’s degree in Special Education-graduating with honors. She also taught for 3 years at a local elementary school, & has been a private tutor-mentor for young children for 20 years.

Stephanie discovered the MFPA on a television program & realized-"I paint with my mouth, maybe I could do that." After prayer and practice, Stephanie became very serious about mouth painting and everyone started complimenting her oil paintings. Stephanie applied to the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists and was accepted in 2017 as a student member. Stephanie believes that, after many years of trials & tribulations, she has finally found where she belongs!
