Paper Pear is a studio gallery founded in 2011 by Stephanie Day. Over the years, it has grown into a vibrant, eclectic and thoughtfully curated art space featuring works from more than fifty Australian artists. Alongside original artworks, the gallery showcases ceramics, jewellery, sculpture and accessories from a handpicked selection of artisans.

MEET STEPH

Steph is passionate about discovering and sharing art. With a degree in Graphic Design, her love of beautiful things and a gift of the gab, Paper Pear has grown beyond her wildest dreams. Steph loves a road trip to meet with artists and to source unique pieces, often delivering artworks personally along the way. These journeys allow her to combine her love of art with exploring new places to eat, stay and play - an experience she enjoys sharing with her audience.

In 2018, Steph launched her pop up exhibition series taking a group showing to The Cornerstone Gallery in Orange. This popular fixture in the Paper Pear calendar continued until 2023 but in 2024 Steph spied a space in Millthorpe she just could not resist and hosted the first of her Village Series pop ups. When the opportunity to pop up in Berrima arose in 2025, she jumped at the chance and the Highland Fling was born
