Steve Maher
"Art provided great pleasure to my father, a "Sunday Painter. I pursued it as a hobby until my retirement as a designer, at which point I threw myself into it. My artistic goals are to use imaginative and creative efforts to intensify sensations of the real world. I am currently working on a series of birds in special settings. It takes me back to childhood days exploring the backwoods of upstate Minnesota. Later, during my design career, I enjoyed frequenting the National Aviary while working in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. My art focuses on bird shapes, colors, patterns and their attitudes." Steve earned a design degree from San Jose State along with a minor in art. He appreciates his wife's unwavering support, who tolerated paint on clothes and carpets for many years, before he had an art studio of his own. Commission inquiries accepted.
