Steve has always known that he would work in an art related field. He says, "I was drawing and painting as soon as I could hold a pencil." He attended Herron School of Art and is still involved with the school as a member of the Herron Alumni Board. While attending Herron, he was able to spend a summer at Woodstock with the Art Students League of New York, recalling it as the best summer of his life; "two months in the Catskills, painting every day." This was prior to the Woodstock Music Festival and about 40 miles away.

Steve works as a fine art restorer and feels blessed to be able to work so closely with great art. He says that he truly loves his job and enjoys coming to work. He admits that occasionally a difficult job may worry him, but that there is great satisfaction in working through any problems and completing the project. If his restoration business ever slows down he will have more time to Plein air paint.

Ready for the next project

For a number of years Steve worked as a fancy painter with the Garland Guild, doing decorative restoration on period buildings. Steve has worked on the Morris Butler Home and the Gene Stratton Porter Home. He did the gold leafing of the Obelisk of the War Memorial in Indianapolis and the stenciling and gold leafing on the Indiana State Capitol. As his fine art restoration business picked up, Steve was no longer able to find time for the travel involved with architectural painting.
