Artist in Residence – Stef Ross

Stef Ross presents... UnCrated

December 2 - 7
Throughout the Lobby

Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist Stef Ross creates contemporary and sculptural art inspired by fashion and pop culture. Her work blends playful vibes with exquisite detailing, creating inclusive works with a fun, sporty, and glamorous aesthetic.

Exclusively curated for Loews Miami Beach Hotel, UnCrated features colorful acrylic link installations, paper flower masterworks, pearl sculptures, and various rhinestone techniques, exemplifying Ross's inventive use of color and diverse artistic methods. Traditionally advised to "focus on one thing," Stef's interactive installation takes the opposite approach, presenting multiple collections, each with its own distinct personality and character.

“I like to make the type of art that’s easy to love…art that welcomes, is beautiful, wows, and makes you feel good.”
