Summers during and after high school he began painting houses in northern New Jersey to put himself through Parson’s School of Design. As an illustration student in the pre-digital/pre-cell phone age\, he spent 20 hours a week at figure drawing\, along\nwith learning classical skills in painting\, printing making\, photography\, composition\, perspective and layout. \nAfter graduating from college he applied his newly acquired skills to the preservation of historic finishes and decorative painting\, including design of a new decorative finishes campaign for the Michigan Governors’ ceremonial office in The State Capitol. During his years in preservation Steve continued to take advantage of figure drawing sessions wherever he traveled for work and continued to play with a variety of art media that fit his lifestyle. \nExamples of Steve’s Work:
