In the green hills of central Connecticut...
you'll find veteran Artist Stevethepaintist also known as Steven Graff.
Originally from Long Island he has created original artwork by hand in many different formats his entire life including signs, logos, renderings, movie posters, show bills, wooden crafts and paintings.
He studied Architectural Design & History at the New York Institute of Technology and Design Drafting with LaSalle Extension University. In 2015 he dedicated himself to doing original acrylic paintings building a following online selling direct to the public. He has an ongoing series known as "Colorful Thoroughbreds" and uses a technique in some of his work that he calls "Colorspot".
Each new painting is...
a fresh addition to Steve's growing body of work. "I like to surprise myself every time I stand in front of a blank canvas" says the Southington Artist "which is becoming more challenging all the time". He used to devote a lot of time to creating colorful expressive landscapes. Nowadays he enjoys featuring figurative elements like horses, cats, birds and swans in some of his pieces. He can also shift gears to produce abstract images and will even cross the spectrum to the surreal occasionally. He enjoys working in all sizes and the majority of the paintings are completed on stretched canvas- wraparound style or frameable, and rigid canvas panel.
