Stern Hatcher runs The Paper Plate Gallery and Photography Studio in North Austin. www.thepaperplategallery.com Stern started this new business after the passing of his wife in March 2020. The Gallery, All-Subject Photography Business, Art and Photography Classes, Vintage Sales, "Pod-Painting-Parties," and Animal Services all stem from the new path taken after Covid 19 took Patty Hatcher to the next plane. Contact me for assistance with photography projects, art production, lessons, portraiture, creative services, animal communication, and EC-12 education services (including special needs) offering non-for-credit facilitative classes in the arts.

My work is a word-salad of imagery. My subjects range from the exodus of shoppers, lightning storms, unusual studio portraits to a tiny spider’s dinner. I am multi-faceted in how I create. Since 1986, teaching photography has guided my path in helping others, and I have collected many cameras. My imagery contains vital elements of design, color, beauty, or oddity. I produce high-quality prints, videos, and canvas art. My view of reality follows straight photography traditions, finding art in our personal or alien environments. My current projects include studying alternative fabrics, unusual or non-traditional clothing, and the human form in the struggle of finding the self. Sculpture, painting, mixed media, gallery management, classes, and aura work round out my creative endeavors. I am open to all collaborators and artists.
