Steve graduated from the Ontario college of Art in 1979. For the past
30 years he has focused on the design of numerous household, medical
and sports products. Steve Continues to develop new products with his
industrial design company and lives in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, with his
beautiful wife Patricia. In the last ten years, as their children have grown, Steve rediscovered painting and began a journey of artitstic exploration away from the photographic image we have come to accept, to the three dimensional reality of what we truly see. Steve's art hangs in many private collections and has been featured in the Barrie Spring Art Tour for the past three years. "As my need to paint has grown over the years I have begun research into vision and the unique human ability to see in three dimensions. I started by adding thick layers of paper and cardboard attempting to capture those few moments of light we see each morning and night in our long Canadian winters, I continued to build on this depth. I soon realized instead of mimicking nature, I could use the natural materials I find in the forest to help create this illusion of depth, creating a moment in time just before the sun rises above or drops below the horizon. With branches bare in late winter and early spring the effect of the sun through the trees is spectacular. I continue my fantastic adventure to capture the reality of our astounding natural world." |
