Biography
Falon Stutzman paints interior states with raw immediacy, using a restrained palette and strange, cinematic cropping to stage her figures in moments of deep feeling. Her early works evoke the hazy intimacy of New Wave films as well as stylized, cartoon-like archetypes of women navigating uncertain, inchoate environments. Stutzman’s work reflects an ongoing process of discovery—one shaped as much by emotion as by form.
Falon Stutzman (b. 1984, Silver Spring, MD; lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska) earned a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design. She has had solo exhibitions with Megan Mulrooney, Los Angeles, Kishka Gallery, Vermont and The Door, Brooklyn. Her work was featured in the 2024 edition of New American Paintings.
