Stephanie Cooper fell in love with Candlelight Ranch from the moment it was conceived by her parents, Jeri and Don Barr, over 25 years ago. She started getting involved as a college student helping on the weekends and with the organization’s early fundraising events. She feels passionate about helping Candlelight Ranch continue to grow and serve others.
She received a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2003. Since then, she’s collaborated creatively with brands such as Miron Crosby, LoveShackFancy and Corazon Playero. Her passion is painting large-scale, figurative oil portraits in an abstract expressionistic style which she works on in her home studio.
Stephanie currently resides in Dallas with her husband, Matthew, her three children and three stepchildren. They love to travel, entertain friends and family and spend time outdoors together.
