Steve has a background of creating murals on ceramic tile from working for over 20 years as head of the art department at Summitville Tile in Summitville, Ohio. He recently received his second degree at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio, the first in fine art and design, the second in Elementary Art Education. When he's not busy with his wife and 4 children, he spends his spare time hiking, picking mushrooms, and working on his acrylic paintings. One just has to take a look at Steve's paintings to realize that he loves nature, especially rocks and trees. He spends countless hours with his paint, brushes, and canvas to create each one of his paintings.
