The creative process has always been a passion of Steven. All through his professional career (Environmental Engineer) he practiced drawing, did fine art photography, and dabbled in multi-media collage. He re-energized his creative talents taking classes at The Midland Center for the Arts, later joining the faculty, teaching ceramics, beginning drawing and Advanced Critique. He now concentrates on oil painting at his Flat Frog Studio in Midland, Michigan.
Steven has co-judged the Midland Center for the Arts annual art festival in Midland Mi., the Brighton Mi. art fair, and the Tawas Area art fair. He has also judged the state wide Christian Schools Art Competition. |
