Steve was born in Detroit Michigan in 1962 and became interested if not obsessed with art at a very early age. From the time he was in grade school he studied and dissected the Renaissance.

His family moved to Central Ohio in 1971. By the time he was in High School he was making trips to museums to photograph and study the works he found captivating. He began to exhibit in group and solo exhibitions.

Steve has maintained a studio in Columbus and in Circleville for many years as I continue to exhibit and work on commissions. His work is in private and corporate collection all over the United States and abroad..

Steve has a passion for teaching art and utilizing every exhibit as a tool to inspire young people to create and never give up.  Many times I offer classes or drawing sessions in conjunction with exhibits.

After exhibiting in the Short North Arts District for 7 years, he decided in 2008 to focus on more alternative exhibit spaces and opportunities to show work in public spaces. Steve exhibits in 3 or 4 galleries each year and maintains a collection of framed works and themes at his studio.

His passion always has been and will continue to be the expansion of the arts in every way.
