In 2003, Stephanie met the artist who became her friend and mentor, the famous master of painting, Richard Schmid. Richard suggested that she tighten her belt and start learning to draw again, but in oil, instead of the usual pastel. Also, Schmid, during plein air painting sessions, invited Stephanie to paint next to him.
