Steve’s women stand as equals, and

perhaps a little more than equal. Self-

possessed players in the game of life, the

figures in Steve’s meticulously composed

and rendered paintings negotiate and

confound the stereotypes of popular culture.

His sometimes satirical interpretations are

also often trained upon the art world itself,

and the rare skill with which he renders his

complex works makes a powerful statement

about what art can be. .
