About
STEVE SEEBOHM

Steve is a local artist who loves the outdoors and nature. He has been passionate about the arts since he started drawing small fish, snakes and frogs he caught growing up. 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 figure drawing, along with learning classical skills in painting, printing making, photography, composition, perspective and layout. After 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 create with a variety of art media that fit his lifestyle. He continues to promote classical art skills and draws the subject matter for the majority of his pieces rather than tracing or projecting. Steve welcomes and considers commissions on a case-by-case basis in drawing, pastel, watercolor or acrylic & oil.
