Author Bio
Like many artists, Steven Pearce got his start at a very early age. His mother was an accomplished oil painter, and his father was an oil painter, sculptor, and master jeweler. Their encouragement and valuable knowledge helped Steven grow as an artist. Creating art with a pencil has been and continues to be a passion of Stevens, and is always at the forefront of the mediums he uses. He enjoys experimenting with other media, including colored pencil, oil, and acrylics.
