Art shaped by movement, memory, and the unexpected.

Image Theory is an independent art studio by John Stepuch and Lesley Carpenter, featuring original acrylic, watercolor, graphite, and photography. From fluid movement and imagined landscapes to reflected light and quiet observation, each work begins with curiosity and takes its own direction.

Two artists. Different approaches. One evolving collection.

Image Theory brings together the work of John Stepuch and Lesley Carpenter. John moves between fluid acrylic, watercolor, graphite, and photography, while Lesley is drawn to the movement, color, and unpredictability of fluid art and reflected light through photography.

Their work is different in process and perspective but connected by curiosity—the idea that an image does not always need to begin with a fixed destination.

Discover original works across acrylic, watercolor, and graphite. Each collection reflects a different approach to color, movement, observation, and process.
