Elaine S. Darr-Morton
Steve is a native of Hadley, and has been a lifelong artist, working in the commercial art field before making the transition to fine art. He is an accomplished artist in both drawing and painting — drawn to subjects from the past, particularly items in disrepair that evoke character. For ten years he worked principally in graphite, and in 2015/16 curated an exhibition of graphite and charcoal artists ‘Leaving Our Mark: In Celebration of the Pencil’ at the D’Amour Museum of Fine Art in Springfield, MA. In addition to numerous regional and national awards, Steve received top honors in the American Artist Professional League and also the National Society of Painters in Casein & Acrylic in New York City for his oil and acrylic paintings. Steve’s drawings and paintings have appeared in various art publications, including North Light Book’s Acrylic Works, Splash, and Strokes of Genius series. Online magazines ArticulACTION, Artist Portfolio Magazine, and Pratique des Arts (in France) have featured his artwork. In 2016, Acrylic Artist Magazine ran an extensive article on his still life painting series.
