shown at various New York spaces including, Soho Photo
Gallery, Two 07 Art Gallery, and the Salmagundi Art Club.

and markings. Stupich holds a MFA from Georgia State
University and has been exhibited and collected extensively.
Stupich has several ongoing projects on the built environment
in production, including The Red Desert Project with
