Arts journalist Aidan Dunne says of Deady's work -"Historically, in western painting, there is an art of drama and spectacle, and there is an art of quietness. The extrovert and the introvert. Stirring, dramatic events and moments of inner revelation. Stephanie Deady’s work is aligned with the latter, with interior life."

Upcoming solo exhibitions include Claremorris Gallery (2025).
