Artist Steven J Parrish has been drawing for as long as he can remember. He decided to start oil painting in his twenties.

Being self taught in the days before the internet was a challenge. Though his paintings were accepted into a gallery and sales soon followed the paintings did not equal the vision he imagined.

Exhibits include numerous National, Regional, and Local juried shows including the Virtuosos of the OPA Exhibition at New York’s Salmagundi Club.

The artist has always been fascinated by the way light interacts with objects. He looks for interesting objects and arranges them to achieve the interplay of light and shadow. The goal of his work is to elevate simple objects into dramatic artistic statements.

The artist lives in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with his wife artist Linda Volrath. The two met in Steven’s first workshop with Gregg Kreutz. He teaches Still life painting at The Stuart Street Atelier in The Plains Virginia.
