About Us
Mary DiStefano Jarowitz
Margaret DiStefano Mitchell
As you can probably tell if you have met us, we are sisters. The comment we hear most often is, "That is so cool, doing something you love with your sister".
Exactly. Although we painted and designed and drew our way through school we didn't make the studio official until we lost our sister Teresa to breast cancer. The connection we already had suddenly needed a new expression, and Studio DiStefano was born. Our goal was to create whimsical images rich with color and texture that would evoke a sense of happiness and hope for the viewer. It was a natural fit; sometimes it feels as though one hand is simply completing the thought from the other sister. Kind of like finishing each other's sentences, which we also do.
Both of us graduated with degrees in Fine Art from the University of Texas at Austin, and we studied with some of the finest teachers in the country. But our biggest inspiration continues to be each other, and the love we share with our families, experiencing life through this love of art. We are honored that you share it with us.
