Steve Griffith was born in the Ouachita Mountains of Western Arkansas in 1959.  From infancy, his family traveled to the Rocky Mountain States to work in the timber business and to the Pacific Northwest to work in fruit orchards.  The changing landscapes on these long trips provided a natural backdrop for Steve to develop a passion for both art and travel.

Steve studied art in college before developing an interest in Psychology, eventually completing a Master of Science degree.  He practiced full-time for fourteen years combining phychotherapy and art therapy with patients ranging from small children to geriatrics.

However, Steve produced very little art for the public until 1996 when encouraged by friends and colleagues he began painting professionally.  By 2001 demand for his art allowed Steve to begin painting full-time.

His unique background has allowed Steve to develop a strong, loose style that embraces his love of light, engergy and motion.  His style is brave and sometimes surprising, but tends to find a deeper place in the heart and imagination over time. 

Steve Griffith has won awards in various mediums including oil, watercolor, and acrylic paintings as well as mised media, 3-D and experimental categories.  His style ranges from abstraction to impressionism.
