about us
Conall Mannion and Stephanie Trotto are creative partners that have been collaborating for over 7 years. Both artists learned printmaking at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, falling in love with letterpress and Risograph printing. Throughout college, they created numerous zines, artist books, and various prints for themselves and other external artists/creatives, fostering community and creative expression through printing techniques that only emphasize their mission as artists.
Conall and Stephanie also upcycle clothing as a brand called Wizardz Only, Fools, which started in 2020.
Stephanie Trotto
Stephanie Trotto takes cliche, conventional subject matter and playfully challenges its meaning through her artwork. She frequently makes collages with magazines like Playboy, LIFE, and National Geographic to create these commentaries, combining them with printmaking techniques and textiles for juxtaposition.
Trotto received her B.A. in Arts Management and Art at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) in 2026. She was honored with a Visual Arts Scholarship for her artwork (2024), as well as a Feigenbaum Research Scholarship for her studies on Women, Botany, and Ecofeminism (2025—26). This research was showcased in collaboration with Melanie Mowinski at the Contemporary Nature: Tending the Garden Symposium at MASS MoCA (2026).
