Stephen Gioffre, widely known as "Gio," is a passionate artist and dedicated high school art teacher at Sheridan High School in Ohio. Originally from Delaware, Ohio, Gio is deeply rooted in his community, both as a family man and as a creative force who brings art to life in many forms.

A proud graduate of Muskingum University, Gio has spent years nurturing the next generation of artists in the classroom while also leaving his own vibrant mark on the world. His large-scale murals can be found throughout Ohio, each one a bold celebration of color, storytelling, and local culture.

In 2019, Gio expanded his artistic expression into the world of tattooing. He quickly found his niche tattooing playful cartoon and video game-inspired pieces—often while enjoying his favorite Marvel movies in the background. Whether he's sketching in a classroom, painting on a wall, or creating art on skin, Gio brings heart, humor, and a love to everything he does.
