Steve has had a long career as a graphic designer, illustrator and art director – with his own company, and for major graphics companies – working on radio, film and television accounts.

After years of producing artwork for clients and corporations, he’s happy to once again be creating art for himself, his family and friends. Focusing on paintings that capture life’s special moments and places – glowing with light and color that let the viewer’s imagination take it from there.

Steve lives in Simi Valley, California with his wonderful wife of 40 years, children and grandchildren.
