Steve served briefly on the S.F. Bay Area Scenic Council. He relinquished that post after becoming the charge scenic, as he felt it was a conflict of interest, although he continued to follow the meetings regularly. He is grateful to have worked with so many talented artists and all the connections and memories they share. Steve retired in November 2025. Paralleling his scenic painting endeavors, Steve has nurtured his fascination with hiking, photography, acoustic guitar, animation and, above all, loves spending time with his awesome family. E.
